Can we make a STRAIGHT ramp or stair that is 3 or 6 m in height?
More than once I found myself with separation between floors that does not fix precisely the 4m height that seems intended for stairs and ramps. For example, it is very common for me to want to use 6m heights for a hidden floor but I still want a way to access it.

In the past I either used a step or a shorter ramp so that I end up with a two inclinations ramp. That is fugly.

Is there a way to make a decent 6m (or 3m) height STRAIGHT ramp or ladder? Or should I give up and just use ladders as the entry to these sections?

In theory you could clip ramps into each other or the bottom foundation, but you might get z fighting flicker, and the ramp would be either longer or shorter than a single foundation
Like for 3m you could just clip a 4m ramp into bottom foundation, it wouldn't match the edge of the foundation tho.

Bummer. Ladders it is. For non-standard heights of course. They happen only on utility levels, so it shouldn't matter.

3 Catwalk ramps are 6 meters
I use 2 double ramps in my latest factory to cover wierd height differences.

3x 1m ramps are 3m.
3x 2m ramps are 6m.

If you mean the ramps in Foundations, (and not Architecture), then sure, you can do that, but it will be longer than a normal ramp. Just use 1m ramps, but place as many extra foundations as you want it to be tall, then place the ramp, and remove the foundations if you want.

Agreed, but they are horribly "flat", not much of an incline. Was hoping for a ramp with an adjustable incline, or a shorter "stairs", but since it doesn't exist I'm going to stick to ladders for this particular purpose.

I wish you could purchase special ramps that stretched like pipes, just to be able to attach platforms at different heights.

Basically snap the first part of the ramp, drag it like ZOOP, and it just snaps to the edge of the next foundation

That's a really good idea! :thumb:
