Constant generatrix
Stereotomic structures with constant profile have as intrados surface the shape produced by a moving profile curve (generatrix) along a straight or curved path (directrix). These surfaces include barrel vaults, sloping barrel vaults, domes or helical staircases; all of these surfaces allow us to cross section them and find the base profile curve in any of their extension, even if changed with affine transformations.
