Attaching an arc wall to an arc ramp (RAC2008)

[ricardo.o.maciel]

How can an arc wall be attached to an arc ramp (see attached) , or be modelled as a free wall with that same shape?
I couldn't get to a solution with massing and using railings seems more difficult than it ought to be.
I guess this is an easy operation with RAC2009 swept blend tool. Is it possible to be modelled in RAC2008?

Ricardo,

What i like to do is to export just the ramp to AutoCAD (when exporting make sure it is exported as solids - in options-). Then you create an in place family (floor in place family) and import the ramp into it. Finish the in place family and then you will be able to attach your wall to the "floor" just created. You can then add a filter to hide the floor from your views (or if you are working with worksets, just move it to a temporary workset).

See attached. (I haven't created a filter to show you the temporary floor)

. . . or turn the visibility of the imported geometry off inside the in-place family after attaching the wall to it. It then won't be visible or selectable in the project, but you can select it via the project browser if it later needs to be modified. (I guess this won't matter in a couple of weeks with RAC '09)
