I am trying to make a ramp connecting to an outside stairs and the ground level outside the house. I thought it would be as simple as marking the short-end next to the stairs and move it up along the blue axis - but it is impossible to drag it upwards. I have tried to only mark short-end, mark short-end plus long edges to the end of the ramp, mark short-end and the surface - but I am stuck - no idea how to proceed… anyone skilled with tip on what I should do?! Please…
Can you share the file?
Have you tried to to rotate instead of pull?

Wow - so nicely illustrated - thank you mihai.s -where do I find the clever “ramp tool” that you use in the second example?
You’re welcome!
‘Ramp tool’ it’s a plugin and you can download it from Sketchucation - s4u Stair [$] - Trial v4.1.0 or from Extension Warehouse
Thank you I made it… even if the shadow looks a bit weird on the first sloping part…
Thank you did not know about this feature - -I have already “erased” it by using shift+ erase tool - how can I know make the line visibile again and smooth it?!

Of course… thank you
If that ramp is for accessibility, it is way too steep, and the top landing is too small for turning a wheelchair.
You are probably right - thank you. This is just a first sketch for a customer who is not at all considering ramp. I just wanted to show where it could be done - maybe it should have been correct from start - but not even sure they want one…
