Bend ceiling

Equinoctial
Booster

I want to make some curvy shapes on a roof. 
Round shapes from above (I've succeeded in that). 
But from the side I want to bend the roof so that it bends down in a round shape (I haven't managed to do that myself).

 

I also want to put the pieces together into one, since there are currently two of them. Does it work?

Yes exactly! That's what I meant from the beginning. "Curved in only one direction"

Maybe it wasn't so clearly described in my first picture.

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Design-forum/How-to-design-Leaf-Roof/m-p/174516/highlight/true#M...    the links in this link don't seem to work anymore.

 

I didn't check to see if someone else posted this link.

How to construct it is more interesting to me than how to model the shape of it. 

In my example of how to frame a roof like that,  I think you would use could use regular rafters and the sheathing would bent enough to give you a pretty good curved surcate.  It might need to be layers of a thiner roof sheathign that other wise, but I think it could be done. ?

Hi, for that one you need to construct your shell by extrusion.

Then I have finally succeeded in what I wanted from the beginning! 

What I didn't tell you at the beginning, and that I "might want to do" is a cut down the middle.
