Is the wall framing accessory capable of creating a framing plan view and elevation view if the wall is curved?

No...if you're talking about the Goodie, which was written before there were curved walls.

If you're talking about the CadImage Accessories...I don't know...

Cheers,

Well...there are a variety of nifty jointed metal products to server as top/bottom plates for wood or steel framing...but the curved fireblocking and lintel are more challenging!
