Ramp up arrow

[kwong]

Hello all,
I've just drawn a ramp, but I can't find a way of having an up arrow shown the way I can with stairs. Can anyone help?
Also, is it possible to change the arrow style for stairs?
Thank you.

Kwong,

I have same problem. I have checked Properties of Element, Visibility Graphics & View Properties but I am unable to get Ramp Arrows to show.

Any help appreciated.

Arrows for Ramps appear just the way they do as with stairs.
- created by Run > Arrow > yes
- created by Boundaries > Arrow > no.

Can't get the arrows to show either. The "Up" text shows, but not the actual arrow, even if I use runs to draw the ramp.

I've found that ramp arrows are even more useless than stair arrows. I use model lines drawn on the face of the ramp like a > shape. This also means the ramp lines show correctly in elevations and when the lower part of the ramp is obscured, for example.

This has been an outstanding bug for a long time. The actual arrow gets blocked out by the ramp itself. You'll notice it if you hover over the ramp, its there, its just hidden. And there has never been a way other than drawing it in to get to appear...

Would be nice to get these glitches ironed out.

I just inserted my first ramp (RB9) and it's very disappointing.

I can't believe this tool is still in such premature shape. It doesn't come even close to what the industry standard representation is. The checkbox to show "Up arrow in all views" is misleading...there's no such arrow (the arrow one sees when a ramp is selected is a flip arrow). The subcategories are there, but you can't do anything with them at the moment. It looks very incomplete. I'm sure the developers are busy with other issues, but I was quite surprised by this.

Yes, and - with all the max respect to the factory - I don't understand why, after so long time, ramps are so incomplete: no arrow, no break line, no layer as for floors (why? even slab foundations have it...), not to talk about join ramps with other elements such floors and walls. It should be so better try to make floors act as ramps then opposite I think...

I have been using sloped floors for ramps still. Then I create a floor hosted arrow symbol. I drop the hosted model arrow onto the floor and have a label that shows the slope.

[mtogni]

I'm with you dpollard, me too I used sloped floors as ramp, but try do the same as a circular ramp and tell me what you see... the floor is sloped but is also "twisted" (excuse me I cannot find a more precise word...) both at the begin and to the end!!! This is the problem: fix this there's no more need to use ramp!
