If you have SSA and you are brave, then you can download the X3 beta version and use the new ramp tool. If not, then you might want to do a search on this forum for "ramp" to find a work-around that might work for you.
its funny you should pop this question, i was only wondering about this one myself the other day.
my barnstorming ideas (and i say barnstorming because the brain wasnt helping out much:confused:) were,
1. since you can get a railing or fence to follow terrain, i wondered about creating a polyline solid and converting it to terrain. then play with the elevation data in terrain to get a straight ramp. perhaps the railing would follow that with the follow terrain option selected.
2. use a roof plane and set its pitch to the upslope angle you want.
3. create a box and edit the two xy plane options till you get the angle of upslope you are after. how the railing goes onto it i havent a clue (autocad the sucker:p)!
