I don’t know why but none of your links work for me? Since this link is to a thread/post I created, I’ll try to make it work: (just copy/paste the URLs into the post editor, no need to use the ‘Hyperlink’ feature)

Intersecting Elliptical Vault Ceiling

Yesterday, I read the news (oh boy) about a lucky man who made the grade… Photos of the “Italianate villa” showed rooms with intersecting vaulted ceilings that inspired a GH quest: [vaulted_ceiling1] [vaulted_ceiling2] My first effort used mirrored BiArc curves that worked fairly well but could produce wiggly lines at the intersections, depending on parameters. So today I tried half ellipses instead and discovered magic! With ellipses, the diagonal intersections in top view are always s…
