So I'm using the arc plugin to make a dome of sorts, and I have made one full arc to make my job easier, and from there I want to use that same arc to cover the rest of the area. This is what it looks like: https://twitter.com/MikeHaiku/status/585097107981410304/photo/1 (Twitter is allowed :D) So I think that picture should have explained it, since I suck at explaining. Btw yeah that tiny dot is me lol, it's a big build.

I want to use that one arc to make a hollow dome, the picture shows the red arc and then the dark purple is what the dome is going to look like. The light purple is just the sides.

It doesn't make a perfect dome that covers the dark purple area Instead of making a perfect dome it makes like a messy twisting letter 8 but crunched together.

I was thinking if I start at the baseplate and make the arc go all the way to the max height then it would technically be a dome..

So basically right now I tried making the arc and then with the Y axis set to -1 I was able to make a hollow ball, and then I cut it in half...worked pretty well Is that a way people usually make domes?
