did you mean the profile manager (for complex drawing)
then it will not show the dome in 3d..
it may looks like a dome in Elevation only..

if not.. what is the profile wall ?

Thank you

Thank you,
the tutorial is showing how to use the complex profiles in general
i know ow to use it, but i don't know how to make a dome...
I didn't get it, how can I create a dome using the complex fig.

Interesting point - never thought of it.
Just curious why would you prefer to use the profile rather than the dome library part?

keep well.
