Dome problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

I need to create a dome made of 8 vertical segments (it's octogonal in the floor plan) but I need its height to be larger than its radius.

The problem is that while creating a dome using roof tool the height is limited and cannot be bigger than the dome radius. It applies to any kind of dome, round or octogonal.

What or how should I do it to have, let's say, a dome with a 1m radius and 3m high.. ?

thanks!

p.s. I tried to use profiler but I can't get it to work with specific number of segments, it works only with a round one. Maybe I'm missing sthg.

You done the job 1/2 (Profiler). Now draw an octagon in Plan, next select a WALL tool (with your Profile) and spacebar+click on the octagon.

That´s it.
