Roof
Why is upper roof so high?

Ramp
Delete south rail at 6" landing.
6" landing requires clear turning circle.
No reason to bend rail at bottom of ramp.

Stair
Stop landing wall rails at extension.

I use the ridge of the lower roof to calculate the eave of the upper roof
now i realize this is unnecessary :roll: (i.e.use the 2nd highest point of the lower roof instead)

[color=#0000FF]I am a little confused now about landing and clear turning circle. In the attached example, the circle is clear except at the point where the railing makes turn. Should we make the landing width wider than 5' to avoid this? Or is this okay as is? Moving the railing turn to the right will decrease railing lengths for the parallel north and south ramps.

You only need one clear circle and it can be anywhere on the landing.
