I have found that Google Sketchup is a very simple program to
work with (once you get the hang of making everything into
components). It is a very useful tool to test and tweak ramp
plans with, before you actually go ahead and build them. Of
course you can make models of anything but this is what I have
used it for. On this page you will find ray traced images and
links to the models in 3D Warehouse, where they can be
downloaded for free.
Google
Sketchup is also free. The ray tracing program used here is
Kerkythea
which is also free and can be easily used with Google Sketchup
output by the use of a plugin.
The first model is a miniramp with one bank that we
actually built in Svedala
skatepark last summer. The link to the model is
here.
Here is a nice detail shot.
This is a quarter pipe ramp with or without a bank. It is not so
wide but put two or three next to each other to get it wider.
This actually goes for most of the models, they can be extended
by adding more sections side by side. Link to the model is
here.
Or why not put 2, 4 or 6 in front of each other to get a half pipe.
Here without the bank.

Here is a model of a small funbox with a
rail. This model was almost as hard to do as the real thing.

Here is a detail shoot of the woodwork.
