          Pilou,

          I mean, the steps to get to the shape you showed. πŸ˜„ I get the projection for the curve but what did you use for the dome-like portion, Merci, le Bacot

                Ah Ok πŸ˜„
                In the previous I have just drawn an arc circle (second curve = rail) for the "Dome" and make like this πŸ˜‰

                You need just 2 curves! (second is not obliged, it's just an "helper line" as you can click anywhere! πŸ€“
                Just At the beginginning you must Select the first curve (after it's memorized! )
                You can stop at any moment! And reselect the curve if you have missed one point πŸ˜‰
                But careful if you miss one first green point that's failed so stop sometimes for the stress! πŸ’š

                Else it's very powerful when you have rail (second curve) not convoluted!
                It's just few clicks for big effects! 😎

                And for something else it's very useful for closed sections on the fly!
                A very funy plugins! πŸ‘
                Here the first and second curve(rail) are the same so at the end I will have a square "russian mountain" πŸ˜‰

                For the next "segment" firt click will be the previous "last click" green point!

                Of course you have other plugs (Extrude edged by edges by Tig), or even the follow me (you must draw a surface more)that make the same in one click
                but here you have total control if you want jump a raw and more possibility to click anywhere!

                For reselect a curve don't hesitate to use the view top !

                  ...and big advantage you can extrude any segment in the same time even separated!
                  and very useful when you want just a rectangle in the 3D space with a curious orientation! πŸ˜‰
                  Or for a direct triming!
                  Etc...
                  A must to have πŸ˜„

                    How about a hint?

                    The erosion is a little further along than the building in question, whose surface is smooth and sleek, more like the flash-flood-water eroded canyons, or Elvis' hair. Maybe yours is like the building in 4 or 5 years.

                    I know this is a modelling discussion and not a 'why bother?' discussion, but that is at the core of my every response...

                    Look at this: all the taffy is decoration and deceit; so many useless calories....

                    hollow spaces holding much hot air.

                      [off:27j01tnm][/off:27j01tnm]Probably the biggest showcase of erosion in the world (well it's all erosion I guess), the Colorado Plateau, with myriad geological layers spanning from Bryce Canyon down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, but here (more specifically) the Needles District of Canyonlands NP in Utah, with the Permian Cedar Mesa Sandstone. This from our last trip. You go for a hike and this is what it is like in all directions.IMG_0168.png
                      Pilou has already won the "model this" competition.

                      Sorry this is so OT but at least we're bumping the thread.
