egg shapes

I've been asked if I can create an egg-shaped exhibition room.
I will need to produce dimentioned drawings as well.
Can i do this with archiCAD 9?
Or will maxonform do it via archiCAD?
This is a preliminary question, which will no doubt be ongoing if this project is possible, so simple informative answers (as opposed to full explanations on exactly how to do it) will be OK for now.
thanking in anticipation all archiCAD wizards and gurus...

1. With AC basic tools - I think only by using 'mesh' for modeling half of "egg" and mirror it.
2. With ArchiForma - easy by making revolution object.
3. With MaxonForm - easy as well (in at least two different approach).

AC's Profiler add-on should work fine, too?
