Is there a way to make a Prim that is curved and has a larger radius than 5M?

Single prim? Not that I know of without using mega prims, but they have generally limited sizes.

You can almost get to 10m radius if you take a tube prim, set the beginning and end twist to 90 degrees, and play around with the hole size parameters.

As BamBam says, you can torture a tube that way to make what amounts to a 20m disk, then you can open the hole in the middle to make it a thin donut or even a ring or hoop, and can path cut it to make it just a segment of a disk/donut/hoop or whatever. Tubes are FAR more versatile than people give them credit.

I dont know what the actual answer is.. I just know LLs response was at best...flaccid.

That's a very good way to put it, and now I know why we still haven't seen the promised blog entry...

...the Lindens are still waiting for their shipment of Lie-agra to come in to firm up their flaccid reasoning.
