Shell tool

Hi! I am trying to create a cross vault with the shell tool I tried to set up the magic wand, but the intersection lines between vault steel crocked.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not that expert with the shell tool, but you can get excelent results for vaults with profiled walls or beams.

The trick is to make the profile one half of the vault. Also do not put the reference line at the peak. I find it works best at the inside or outside corner at the bottom.

The complex profile is the answer here, all right.

Further to Matthew's advice, let Archicad fill the groin - just draw stubs at the corner, don't overlap planes.

Thank you for the suggestion I will give a try.
