Downward Ramp

I am in my digging designation menu and I don't see an option to dig a ramp down? If I want to do that do I need to use stairs to get down, then construct ramps up? Then replace the stairs with ramps? --Ehertlein 12:21, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

One thing you can do is to dig one tile further than the ramp shall be, and dig a channel there.
Then, your miners are able to dig from there an upward ramp on the level below:
(side view)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX                  
               cXXXXXXXXX Level Z              c (c)hannel here at first
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX>______XXXX Level Z-1            >  then place an upward ramp here
If anyone is able to explain this better, fell free to edit.--Doub
