Hi,
I'm trying to construct a "tulip vault" ceiling. I first tried this as an in place model, but realized that it would probably need to start out as a conceptual mass. I can create the 4 sides of the vault, but connecting the sides to close off the angled portions have proven difficult. Below is an image of the CAD plan and elevation that I am working from as well as an image of the mass as far as could take it. I'll also include the mass file for anyone who wants to take a shot at it.
One of my colleagues suggested creating the N/S/E/W sides by extruding the vault shape and then trimming the corners with voids. Then lofting the resulting sides together to close the shape. It's the closing the shape part that I can't seem to achieve.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Colin
