curved sloped rock wall

Anonymous

I need to model a curved, sloped rock wall. The wall is actually a vertical wall with a sloping rock veneere on one side. What would be the best way to model a curved, sloped rock wall?
Thanks,
John

Easier still -
use cone object (basic shape) and make top and bottom correct radius.

My cone object doesn't have an inside. Exactly which one are you using?

I'm using the same one as yours - no inside. In the previous elevation drawing the stone base is shown below the first floor level and, presumably, you would not require a wall thickness to properly model this.

Use two cone objects!
Substract one from the other!
You got it!

referring to the original query, the issue is a tapered cone segment upward.

the conoid is horizontal.

Easy enough to fix in GDL
