Is it a good idea to always use 6' ramps and stairs?

Postby Wnarch » Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:53 pm

Assuming the program requires less than 6' stairs and ramps. If the floor space allows, should I use 6' wide ramps and stairs to simplify the calculation and provide some wiggle room? Test in 2 days. Any advice is appointed!

Thanks!

Where did the 6' width come from?

5' wide for the NCARB example is fine.
