Hey ArchiCAD folks,

What is the side elevation like? Does it curve outwards? What is the front elevation like? Does is splay outwards?

With the amount of info given a Shell looks like the correct tool.

Might need to split it in half down the middle and use two shells, but I think it will work best as well. Use the 'ruled' shell, method 'detailed' and you can define both curved edges and it should fill in the rest.

I started with the morph, which helped in creating the shell, I split it into 3 parts.
