Drawing interior ceiling buttress, curved

[VenusD]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has a solution for drawing interior ceiling buttress-like supports that are curved and with decorative scroll detail? See research image for inspiration. I'm working in Spotlight, on VW 2020. 

Thanks!

One way is to model the individual components as extrudes, Extrude Along Path, sweeps, etc.  If multiples are needed of a component, create symbol of it and place instances.  Then make assemblies or sub assemblies of the components. Place assemblies in the model and duplicate, mirror as needed to surround the ceiling. 

Post back if help needed for modeling the components.

@Benson Shaw Thank you! Extrude Along Path worked as a simple solution, which was all I needed for this rendering. Of course I wasn't thinking of the simplest option. Many thanks!
