Spiral Ramp

Cista

Hello, all. I'm newbie here, so no making fun of me.. But I am so glad I register here. So many knowledge about Sketch Up that is new to me.

So, I have a question here about making a Spiral Ramp.
The height of the ramp is 4 meter with a 1:10 ramp. I wanted to make a ramp that is spiraling down from level 0.00 to -4.00, so I download the Shape bender, and did as the instructions told. But I never get the form that I want. The ramp is always straight.
I thought that it might be cause by the arc line that is intersecting, so I erase (trim) the extra line, but it still doesn't give the shape that I want.

Help me guys. My boss will be so mad if I don't finish the modelling today.

thanks a bunch, kind mates!!!

Hi Cista and welcome. Could you attach the ramp along with the curve line you are trying to bend it around?

Cista

Yes well actually, the curve line is consist of 6 to 7 arc line, and i made it in one level because i couldn't make it spiral (i don't know the height of each point).

Gaieus

Well, a 6/7 segment curve can have very different bulges. So any chance for an attachment?

And with this plug you can draw a cool spiral

Hello,
I'm really sorry for the late reply,
But i've tried once more and i made sure that each arc is connected, without any extended line from the joints, and finally, i've made a spiral ramp!!! thank you thanks a bunch for the help.
