Need help making an odd shaped Column

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to revit and i'm having a hard time making this bridge piers, because when i use revolve, it makes the pier into this vase shaped pier, while it's actually kind of elliptic, and when I use the blend tool it takes out the arch between the two levels, instead there's is just a straight line. what can I do ?

See if a sweep might solve your issue. The profile is the column shape. The path can be the "elliptical" shape.

You might need to combine a sweep (upper part) and a blend (lower part)

is this it?
You're on the right track when you use the sweep blend. You just have to cut to its correct profile using sweep. You can use the family I made as a reference. I made it using Revit 2018.2
