Show us the profile that you are using.

here is a profile of the light

To me, it looks like Archicad is revolving the profile around the right edge of the curve, giving you the shape you saw below. Was that not what you wanted?

[Anonymous]

If the profile you show is the entire size of the light, try using 1/2 of that profile so the bottom will be flat and not have that donut-hole return you are getting.

[Dwight]

Right. Profile 1/2 since it is revolving on itself. From the center.

Also:

be sure to make the profile to the upper right, with the revolving point in the lower left. This respects the specific hierarchy Archicad uses to interprt left/right and up/down, avoiding the annoying reverse and/or inverted profile.

Also:

Archicad won't revolve around nothing: always leave a tiny hole in the bottom of the revolve (by ofsetting the revolve a little) or you risk getting a false result....
