Ramp following contours
-
Hi
I need help with a ramp. I need to place a ramp (spline) that follows contours but at at a specific gradient below the contours. I guess like a road winding up a valley side. Any solutions to this would be greatly appreciated. Regards

Hi Garry, hi folks.
Click in sequence on the scenes tabs of this SketchUp model for ideas.

Hi Pilou and Jean. Thank you for taking time to respond. I used the Shapebender Tool but it does not fulfill both criteria required.
- It must maintain 1:200 gradient
- It must remain 25m below terrain
In a road example, the road would have a gradient and remain on the mountain surface crossing contours. If I could accomplish the mountain road I could transfer the centre line down to the required depth. The only guidance the road would have is the given contour set and terrain.
Thanks
Garry
