To add compartmentation i.e. stairs and ramps, so the 3D objects are portrayed correctly, follow the steps below. This is a general guide-line to how to create slanted compartmentations which should work in most scenarios.
-
Go to a view where the slanted compartmentation should be. Create a reference plane and name it. In this example, the reference plane name is “Stairs”.
Go to Architecture → Ref Plane
Draw the line by one of the walls.
Note: Make sure reference planes are visible in the view.
- Measure the width of the compartmentation in the floor plan, the stairs in this case.

-
Draw a section parallel to the slanted compartmentation.

-
Go to section and start creating a Model In-Place.
Architecture → Component → Model in-place

-
Select Fire Protection category, name the family.

-
Choose the Work Plane to Stairs in the drop-down (make sure from step 1 that the reference plane is named.)

-
Create an extrusion

-
Use Pick Line and select the wall, select the bottom of the stair, and top of the floor.


-
Use the offset tool and offset the lines under the stairs with 1mm.
Note: Make sure Copy is enabled.

-
Use trim corners to finish the sketch.
Note: It is necessary to zoom very close to the ends.

-
In Properties, type the width of the stair / ramp + 1000mm in one of Extrusion End/Start.

- In Visibility / Graphic override, remove Plan /RCP

-
Under Subcategory, select the correct requirement

-
Finish the sketch.

-
If the boundary in the section. The extrusion grows in the correct direction. If not, change the value to negative Stair width.

-
In this scenario, it is ok. Change Extrusion End to the correct width.

- Finish the Model

Now there is slanted compartmentation that can be used in sections for the other stakeholders.
