It is attached in an earlier post in this topic.
this is again
this one you can edit the radius. Size of members, size of connecter, show as 1/2 dome, etc...
It could be used for planning/design but I would like to know specifics about a real project and model it. The object does not give me that chance to test how clever I can be at this kind of modeling and documentation for a real project which would be the challenge I am interested in.

I wish somone would pay me to model things like this with ArchiCAD.

I am glad that there is someone who can manage projects like these ones above, in Archicad, although for some competitive software (not Rhino or 3DS) this is a piece of cake!!
That's exactly what I would like to design from the beginning!
However, my wish for Archicad is to be ameliorated in α equivalent level so as to make our job easier.

Thanks anyway Steve for your offer...

Couldn't agree more. No need to say that in these software (as well as some other BIM softwares) these forms are still fully parametrics: any change can easily made without a headache that could occurs with a "dumb" modeling when a change have to be done.

It is actually, what was expected ( from me ) from the maxonform when it first came out....anyway, I hope the shell tool ( or another one ) will give an easy way for this case

Have you seen the new SolidWorks?
