    Plinking around, building a cargo hauling SV to transport ores and such from the surface to my Cv.

    I ran into an issue and I can't seem to figure out how to get a ramp positioned properly.

    When I go with one size, it fits perfectly. But the ramp only goes down one, too shallow.

    When I change the ramp to go to two, deeper. It doesn't sit in that nicely placed spot, it want to sit on the bottom edge of the block above (thereby blocking my doorway)

    And if I hit PGDN, it goes too low.

    Am I missing a trick to correctly position this ramp or is this an ELION PLEASE FIX!!! moment?

    Ramps are wonky last few releases. Try placing from below, looking up, or run a temp line of blocks across the bottom of the door, so that the lower face is where you want the top of the ramp, then again place ramp from below

    Use PageUp/PageDown to position these. Hard to tell from the pictures, but I suspect that's one of those roll-top ramps, in which case you'll also likely discover soon, as I did many versions ago, that they're always 1 unit too short.
