Anyone do deck ramps?  I only see a ramp in concrete but would like to have it stick built,  And I need it to do a material take off.

it work.

Yes, but the materials will probably be way out of whack.

I would use a roof segment with 5/4 thick sheathing. That would account for the materials and would work with the 3D images too. Shut off the fascia and soffits, Here is one that took about 10 minutes. It is a roof with 2.25/12 slope and you could you a couple of "none" beams to force the slope instead of the lumber ones in the pick.

Good Morning Tom,

 

If you are planning to be at IBS, please come by Booth SU207 and see one of our staff to see the new deck ramp feature in version2020.  This will also be covered in the "What's new in SoftPlan version2020 seminar.

You killing me Jim.     But thanks for letting us know it is in the new section.  Unfortunately, I won't be at the IBS this year.  I am going to use Martin's suggestion on this since I need it by this weekend for a material list.  Also thanks Michael, that is a smart idea and would work good on 3D if I didn't need material
