How curved? Arch? sweep? What?

You have two tools: the arched roof segment tool and the complex profile extrusion.
See:

And:

Search the Reference Manual for Barrel-Vault Roof.

Is this curved enough?

How much did they use the complex profile?

Erika, I am! 😉
Dwight, you guessed right - a lot!

Dwight, you gessed right - a lot!

May I ask how many profiles?
Nice model, thumbs up for you and your students!

Polygons - no idea!

This form is easy - one shape, two profiles.

To draw the sinuous section, make a spline in the floor plan and magic wand a thin wall with a fill over it. Explode the wall and copy the fill into the Complex Profile window. This becomes the glass and rib profile.

Using the profile as a template, you trace the horizontal bands over it.

Assembling the building around a spline form, you magic wand the glass, you magic wand a slab roof - solid white, and you make ribs from the glass form and place them as mullions.

And it helps a lot to have this: 😉

Do you think you can get by with just casually dropping that one?
Does it multiply along a line and/or polyline/spline?

Sadly, arexline.com has disappeared. Mats, this is from the user guide:

The rxDuplicator tool allows you to create and place several copies of the selected elements along a path. A path is an open or closed curve or its part. As a path, you can use any 2D drawing elements: line, open and closed polyline, circle, arc, elliptic arc, open and closed spline. Grouped segments of 2D elements. Any contour of polygonal elements: slab, zone, hatch, mesh, roof.

Using tool settings, you can distribute duplicates along the path according to the number of duplicates or the distance between them. You can also apply vertical displacement to the created duplicates either at the specified step or up to a certain value as well as automatically place each duplicate at the level of the slab, roof or mesh below it. Besides, each duplicate can be rotated at a tangent to the path.

Kliment, does this plugin work with AC12 too?

This was just a teaser! And a reminder for Graphisoft to implement it!

It is called rxDuplicatior and is for AC10. Sorry, no version for AC12!

Mats, you can multiply along anything, even splines! Objects can even rotate themselves according to the path.

In fact, rx add-ons are the only reason I still keep AC10 on my computer!

There is a compromise. Since the sinuous curve is a fantasy, and a real building would have facets, when you put the glass down, do it with the magic wand set to a specific linear segment length. Then follow around placing and rotating the ribs.
