ramps with railings

[adamjedgar]

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) 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)!
