Q : Hi guys, I am having difficulties to model stair & ramp in Etabs.

Could you help me by

posting any tutorial regarding stair & ramp modelling in Etabs?

ANS : remember this Ramps can be modelled from plan to below plan , means if your ramp is
starting from ground to basement then first open ground floor plan then assign slab horizontally
then go to Draw then Draw reshape object then click on this horizontal slab then white dots will
apear around 4 corners of slab then right click on that point which you have to drop from this
ground to basement and window will appear and put in Z-ord box value of Basement floor level
and do same thing for second point and open 3d view , ramp will be modelled inshALLAH

same thing applied for stair modelling in etabs , means drop down modelling , means if you have
two floors , one is ground and other is first floor then , in between there will be landing level ,
now if your ground floor is at level 3' and first floor is at 15' then your landing level will be 3 +
15 / 2 * 9 feet , now make reference plane at 9 ft , go to edit then edit reference plane and there in
z-ord box put 9 feet , then click ok , now make landing slab area in first floor plan by null lines
then select that null lines and move that lines to 9 feet means to get to 9 feet from 15 feet you
have to type -6 in Delta z and then click ok , now open reference plane and you will see null lines
here now select draw points objects and click on bottom left portion of this null lines in reference
plane and here in Plan offset X type width of stair flight slab , if your stair flight slab is 4 feet
then type 4 here and point will be made in this plane at4 feet from bottom left of null lines , now
select these two points that is bottom left and this point at 4 feet and then replicate that point to
that dimension which is your flight stair slab length then click only on that points which will be
at supose 8 feet from these points of null lines and move that points to ground floor level means
ground floor is at level 3 feet and you have to go from 9 feet to 3 feet means you have to type 6
feet in Delta z box then assign slab from bottom left point and at 4 feet from bottom left point in
reference plane to points at 8 feet from these points in ground floor , your stair flight slab will be
assigned now and same thing you will do for flight which is coming down from first floor slab to
landing level
