I have to layout a cloud, that as a radius at the end. Because of the room and the length of the radius I can not physical layout the arch. If I snap aline from one end of the arch to the other, can I set up a mathematical way to generate points. So all I have to do is square off the line and map out points on the radius?

A cloud is a sheet rock soffit which is suspended by wires, so that it appears to float in the air. What I am doing right now is laying it out on the floor for my electrician and mechanical contractor. The first one is 15' wide. And the end has a radius of 34'-9" on the end. The second cloud is 19'-0 wide and with a radius on the end of 34-9" also. So basically is looks like a wall laying flat floating in the air, with a curved end. One of the many perks of working with a designer.
Ditri: I would just draw the arch to scale...one inch equals one foot. Draw your 15 inch width ou to represent the sides of the cloud...and then draw you 34.75 inch radii on the ends to represent the 34 foot 9 in. actual radius.
You can then just simple break this scaled down drawing into a grid and plot the points on the full scale cloud.
