billtheia Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Can anyone out there help me figure out how to model a square, domed skylight? I've tried using extrude along path but the result looks more like the dome was mitered together than blow-moulded. I assume that there is some other 3-d tool that will provide the result that I'm after but I can't figure out which tool that is. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

I started with a Square primitive, then split the face to give me a square of control handles and brought them slightly upwards: Quote Link to comment
