Hi guys, Im having a very weird situation trying to make a new ramp: base level appears to be lower than top level but it doesnt let me to change those settings because it only permits to cancel. No matter wich level I am. How can I change those parameter befor invoking the command? Thank you all very much.

You don't give us enough information, what is the relationship of the two levels shown in the properties?
Create the ramp from the correct level's plan view, not a 3D view.

I already try in each level. They are basements (so the higher the number the lower the level) And i have to do it in segments because it goes more than one lap. And i even tried by create similar selecting an existing one.

Well then, as I read your answer and look at your image, The Top Level - Sotano 4 IS LOWER THAN the Base Level - Sotano 1
> Revit is correct!
BTW, What happened to levels 2 and 3? If this is supposed to be a multi-story ramp, then base is 4, to level 3 then multi storey top is level 1

Start from scratch and set correctly.
Ramps go up so start from lowest level plan view.

You must be doing something wrong in your process. Please review the HELP on how to create a ramp.

Thanks Elnazer but it didnt work either. i tried setting the work plane by name and the same result, then i tried setting it by picking a plane and the warning message changed to: "the work plane of this view cannot be used for this operation", and I tried it in both plan and in 3d view.

. . .never mind. Thanks a lot. Going to that base level could enter and change it. Then returned to the level i needed but i could do it after closing and reopening the file.

I just had the same problem and was able to figure it out. You need to make sure to set your work plane to the level you are working on. It seems that revit sometimes does not auto change the work plane to the floor plan level you are on but it still tries to draw the stairs or ramp at the level.
This is the problem. you try to draw a ramp at level 2 but revit has your workplane set to level 1. by default ramps and stairs top level is set to that above the workplane. in this case it is level 2. however you are on level 2 plan view so when you use the ramp command it tries to draw the ramp starting at level 2 even though the workplane is set to level 1 and thusly you have the problem of the ramp starting and stopping at the same height.
No clue why revit does this but if you set your workplane to the level you are on before sketching it will work out. set workplane to level 2 and the top will be level 3. you can set your workplane on the ribbon at the far right of the architecture, structural, or systems tab.
