    Default Squeezed Oval Shape - Revit Family Question

    I'm trying to make a shape similar to that of a lens. It's not quite half an oval or half a sphere but somewhere in between. The best way to describe this shape would be if you were to take two different sized arcs (not a pure radius) and intersect them their heights points. Or if you were to squeeze an oval.

    When I try to make it using Revolve it works in one elevation but not in the other.

    I can't figure out how to create this as a Revit family but there must be a way.

    You might have to try making it using a conceptual mass...rather than the standard family editor. Unless, are you saying like this?Odd Oval.JPG

    Here is that family. Like I said, there is a number of ways you can create this.
