Creating a ramp on a curve
-
Ehm...
Indeed, I didn't explain it. Funny is that I used the Drape tool to drape it on the flat surface - and the drape tool is also part of the Sandbox tools (which are essentially plugins for SU).

Here's a way you could do it using Shape Bender.

Chris,
Awesome script and tutorial. I somehow have missed downloading Shape Bender. Off to get it now...

Also, if you add the 100mm thickness to a flat plane, you can always move one end face up like this
unfortunately, SU's autofold function is not always flawless so you still need a bit of cleanup for a nice, final result

Some plugs can make that
Follow and Keep, Extrusion along a path (1001bits)... Extrude Edges by Edges, Extrude Edges by Rails, Component Stringer, FredoScale etc..Shape Bender ...
Depending of what do you want exactly!

Chris, as always- great scripts and great video tutorials!
I had a DUHHHH moment when i saw you use the erase tool to UN-smooth geometry! Didn't know you could do that- i thought it could only smooth it
-
Hehe, glad I could provide you with a "DUH" moment of your own.
I've always thought that watching how other people work in real time is an eye opening experience.

Love the tut, Chris

That you tube tutorial was really helpful, i think i will get shape bender too. Seems like a relatively straight forward method especially with the help of a voice over!
There are so many ways to make the curved ramp i take it!

I've added an example of using EEbyRails to make a simple OR complex ramp on a curve - see here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=206584#p206584
All you need is a curve for the cross-section [profile] and curves for the two side rails - rotated in 3D so that the landing is as you want [probably level?]...
