Revolved Shell: Define Contours in Section

ShellMuseum9.png 

Here, you draw several revolved Shells having a common endpoint for their profiles, but slightly offset from each other.

Then, in the Section window, select each Shell separately and draw its contour in the shape of a rectangle - use progressively smaller rectangles. The result is several overlapping Shell segments, each of a slightly different size.

1.Ensure that the default Shell elevation is 0.

2.Draw the first revolved Shell on the Floor Plan as shown.

3.Draw two more revolved Shells using the same profile starting point, but each slightly larger and offset from the previous one.
