We are trying to design a car ramp for a parking building, but we don't seem to find the prefered way to model this.
We designed the ramp in the image below using Revit, but we want to do this in AECOsim (We are using AECOsim Connect Update 2).
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
We tried the following method in AECOsim:
- construct the base lines of the ramp using spirals;
- converting the spirals to Complex Shapes, which gave us the base forms for the ramp itself and its two side walls;
- extruding those Complex Shapes to the desired height.
However, this resulted in a model that seemed to take ages to calculate the dynamic views (dynamic or cached, both take way to long) or using DEM to calculate an extracted drawing (which we cancelled after about 10 minutes without any result).
Also, using the method as mentioned above, the ramp had to be constructed in 3 parts, since extracting the Complex Shapes of the full ramp resulted in bad extracted elements.
What is the correct way to construct this kind of element?
