Real-World Usage
Ramps must meet strict accessibility standards for slope ratio (typically 1:12 maximum), width, landing dimensions, and surface texture. Construction teams verify ramp slopes during concrete placement to ensure compliance.

IfcStair
IfcStair represents a vertical circulation element consisting of flights and landings that connect different floor levels. Stairs can be straight, curved, spiral, or winding, and their geometry includes treads, risers, stringers, and handrails.
Building ElementIfcRailing
IfcRailing represents a protective barrier along stairs, ramps, balconies, and elevated walkways. Railings serve as safety elements preventing falls and providing support for people using stairs. They include handrails, guardrails, and balustrades.
Building ElementIfcSlab
IfcSlab represents a horizontal construction element that forms the floor, roof, or landing of a building. Slabs can be classified as floor slabs, roof slabs, landing slabs, or base slabs (foundations). They are typically the largest elements by area in a building model.
