curved curtain glass wall

I was looking for a way to make a curve curtain wall using the object of the same name, but I have enormous trouble to follow a curve line, say half circle of 8m radius that I have traced, wich method should I use, radius or distance. Somehow if I use the radius method, wich gets close to what I want I can't get to choose a lenght for the wall, what can I do?

I think that the length of the curtain wall is determined by the 'angle'. Thus you set the radius/diameter and define the 'length' by its 'angle'. The only way I have been able to get this work is by using a common centre point for the curved wall and the curtain wall, defining the radius so that the curtain wall and its wall have the right relationship, then rotating the curtain wall so that its start point corresponds with the location I require. Thereafter successively fine tuning the angle of the curatin wall so that it ends where I want it to!
