Please tell me how to make a ramp like this.

I can't make the connection part accurately. ^^

The problem is that it is difficult to process the green line part.

It shouldn't be all that hard.

Flat slab for the corner landing and inclined beams or roofs for the ramps.

You could probably even play around with the stair tool and create the ramp.

A beam with complex profile at correct inclination might work

Is it possible for me not to do this?

I would use a mesh.

Is the answer to make it a mesh or a morph?

However, there are concerns about whether the thickness of the slab can be accurately determined.

Try making it with roofs and use Intersect Single-plane Roofs.

 

If that doesn't solve it then you will need to place a flat transition where the roofs meet to turn the corner. That is the only way to eliminate the twist where the beams are meeting in your picture.

Thank you for answer.
It seems a little off. ^^

Yes, either.

Another option is to use 2 Slabs.

Convert to Morph

select the vertical planes

move them up (or down) in 3D Window

But I think that per IBC Code that corner needs to be flat and ADA compatible so all these suggestions are moot.

You should also note that in @Eduardo Rolon image, there is a new line in the ramp (red). This tells you that the 4 points forming the slab are no longer on a single plane and the top face needs to be formed by two triangles. This could be a problem for your finishes.
