high profile 2' x 2' ceiling tile

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to create a deeply profiled 2' x 2' ceiling tile in Archicad. Is there a way of making a revolved shape rather than an extrusion (complex profile)? I'm able to make the tile in one direction but this obviously doesn't make the tile that I'm after.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Instead of making your profile as a full cross section use a half cross section and then draw it as the four separate sides (you may need to use a slab for the flat top section). Then save this as an object.

You can also use the sometimes-forgotten "Profiler" Add-On that is/was part of the old "Goodies" collection.
