shallow dome in Profiler

[Peter Bennison]

I would like to make a shallow dome, and then cut out curved head wall shapes from it, like apses coming to meet in the crossing in a church. I thought that I could make the dome by spinning the half section dome profile around the central axis in the the old Goodie Profiler, but seem to have forgotten how it works. The AC instructions are not very clear.

Can't do it in complex profile wall either, seem to get the negative of what I'm looking for.

Any ideas anyone ?

Bon, kind of done it with circle wall tool and complex profile, need to work on removing facet lines now …

Peter:

When making a fill using Profiler or the Complex Profile, you always need to work in the ++ quadrant: the upper right. You've "flipped the fill" to get a negative result.

The trick is to easily establish six sides. Do this by drawing a circle and using the magic wand set to six segments per circle in the wall tool.

For the 'apsoids' make a beam complex profile [with a priority higher than the wall] and insert it partially.

And here it is, round.
