Vertically curved walls

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello, I want to create a vertically curved wall that has an arc. I've already morphed one side of the wall to be higher than the other. However when I try to use the curve edge tool, the curve goes on the wrong axis. The curve goes outwards on the x axis, however I want to change the axis to the z axis.
How can I go about doing this?

If you want the wall to remain a wall then the only way to curve it in the z-axis is to use a complex profile.

Otherwise morph or shell tool may get you the form you want but it will not be a wall as such so no inserting doors or windows automatically.
You might also have some luck with primitive shape objects - they may get you close to what you want then convert to morph for a bit more tweaking if necessary.
