Curved Wall with a slight grade - Elliptical

Hi - 

 

Here's my problem. 

 

I have a wall curved around an elliptical arc. 

The wall is currently 48" all the way around. 

 

What I'd like to have happen is wall change height from 48" to 36" as it curves around the wall. 

 

How do I go about doing this?

 

Thanks, 

-Michael

brick wall, adobe, interior, ?

 

In plan view, label  it.  in elevation, draw it

 

if you want something else, you're going to have to explain more

I am trying to make a 3D model in CAD.
Shouldn't matter what the material is.

Thank!

You can get there easy enough with Loft.  Draw the two cross sections at the end points of the ellipse, use loft and use Guides and pick the elliptical arc.  I just tried it and it works like a charm.

I got it to work with  using PATH, not guide for some reason. 

Thanks! 

I always forget about LOFT
