Double Curve wall (plan and elevation) how to do?

Since "photosuckit" bugged out on me...it's difficult now to insert images which explains what I need immensely but we'll try.

I need to know how to create a "double curved" slab which also curves in plan and curves twice in elevation (a picture would make this much easier).

How best to do this.

Rob,
Investigate using a shell to form the top and then you can simply trim the top of the wall to the shell using solid elements operations (subtract with upward extrusion)

so...with regards to the "shell" tool, note: I need the top cap to be curved in plan AND to also do a double curve in elevation as shown in the sketch.
