    Welcome to the forum.
    You have a variety of options that will require different amounts of work.
    See the attached image.
    Depending on what your needs are my preference would probably be an integral wall sweep.Vaulted Ceiling Options.jpg

    Great, Dimitri. I had never seen a vaulted ceiling created as a sweep profile added to the wall type. It's amazing to see what can be done with sweeps and reveal profiles when they are used for other "out of the box" purposes. Awesome!

    I used a slab edge sweep (semi-circular profile) on a spiral floor to create a waterslide. Same idea. Define a path with a host object, and let the sweep do the work.
