You can already accomplish that look using 2 Ramps. One that slides inward and down from the top of the opening (red), and out that slides outward and down to form the gangplank (yellow). I get what you're looking for though - a single block that is closed at a 45 degree (red) and swings downward 90 degrees (yellow), but the two-ramp method is nearly identical and allows for longer entrance or longer exit ramps, as needed.
...... I thought of/have done that already..... but its not the look I am going for...... Thanks for the suggestion anyway. It is a nice work around to create the appearance. It wouldn't be airtight, and would require extra doors or force field.
True, ramps aren't air-tight, though air-tights ramps COULD be added. A force field works nicely though and is usually easy to place for this sort of design. You know, that makes me realize another device that would be highly beneficial: ANGLED Force Fields - 45 degrees, in all the same widths and heights of existing force-fields.

For all basic shapes there is a "Corner Half" to make soft corners, except for "Ramp A Double" (shown in red):
Perhaps these are the shapes that you are requesting, hopefully they will be added in the future. View attachment 70175
For the ultra low price of an import/export utility compatible with 3d Studio Max, and a set of reference blocks I would gladly produce missing shapes in my free time if the modeling folks are otherwise busy. In most cases, these things literally take seconds to make. The more complex shapes could take minutes.
I prefer to use Cinema 4D, but I suppose anything that works to get the modeling done is a step in the right direction.
Yes, thank you Jesterjunk. The top right one is what's missing. Edit: ...and of course the other shapes you displayed are most welcome to be added as well!
I tried C4d, just couldn't quite get the hang of the interface - which is largely how it goes with most 3d modeling programs. Plus I studied 3ds Max in college, so I'm more accustomed to it.
I'd like to see an elevator/ladder block for SV. SV blocks are too small to stand inside of, but a similar function might be possible.
The "ladder" would actually be quite easy - just remodel the Elevator block into something shaped like a ladder, flat "H" shaped block with the same kind of function to go up/down.
This one is HIGHLY needed too, a sideways connector between ramp A double and ramp A, you'd need two variants, one for left and one for right! if you do the lines well it should also connect to a corner small C.
