Think the current suggested path for 'oddball' (no offense intended) shapes is the grasshoper + rhino thing.
That would probably still use the tools you mentioned to make an assembly, but it would be driven by the cone shape from Rhino through Grasshopper.
Zero experience with this. Our glazing panels are all flat
