making a lamp

[keily]

hey everyone! how do i make this light in archicad?? is there potential to reshape/stretch an existing lamp for example the below one, to this shape? can I make it from a morph? or how do I get it? could I revolve around a shape? not very sure :))

Draw a section of half of the short side, then use the Shell Tool to extrude your shape.

Actually, it would be better to do a Complex Profile and trace the perimeter.

Profile Editor

Complex Wall

Fillet Corners

You would then duplicate it for the number of elements in your light, set and different materials, then save it as an object.

yeah, i too would go with the complex profile option
