Any ideas on fixing my ramp?

I'm building a ramp and thought I was doing good till I saw that I overlooked a small impassable spot in the middle. 

Since I've gotten so far should I work from the bottom up? 

I was attempting the pillar trick but even though I had connected each one by ceiling tile as I went down eventually it no longer worked. It's like the ramps are a bit short and throw it off sync. Nothing like the YouTube ramps. 

Official no collision server.

I will have to check when I get home this evening - turn off clipping and give it ago.   Been  long time since we run the server without the collision stuff disabled - and now use the s+ mod which has better ramps to fit in with wall/foundation sizes.

I guess you started at top with pillars and worked down snapping each pillar to the next then ramped down? - 4 hours before I get home yet though but I will try and work it out and get back to you.

Thanks that would be great 

Yes I started at the top with a pillar and ceilings dropping pillars as needed then removing the ceilings and placing ramps. 

Tonight I'm going to go into single player and extended the ceiling all the way out until I think the bottom of the ramp will touch ground. That should anchor all the support needed. Then I'll come back and remove all pillars over 3 high and see if the ceiling stays. Then start the ramp down and see if it goes out of sync. 

Grrr lol

Wow that's taken a turn for the more creative - good work. 

I tried the simple ramp last night and had success starting with pillars at bottom and working my way up to get them all snapping and managed to lay a ramp all the way down in one go. But then tidying up the pillars poking through half of it fell again... grrrr. ARK is definitely trying at times.

Ok I started over from scratch on single player and then managed to finish my ramp on the official server.

The other pictures  show some weird abnormalities

like no support on a tall pillar until I added an extra ceiling tile

And one spot where I had support on the side of a tile but not the front. Same spot

I now try to estimate and start from the bottom. But now that I'm getting the hang of it I'd really prefer to start at the top. Just haven't had much success in the past. 

 

Now I connect a ceiling tile to every lower pillar so it's a cohesive unit. 

 

I've edited in the pictures on my post this morning please look again
