Need help creating shapes in SimMechanics

I am trying to create an arch in SimMechanics. I figured out how to make one using the "Revolution" solid, however, I am trying to make a round one (i.e., like bending round tubing into an arch). I have attached a screenshot of what I have so far. Also, I have figured out how to limit the degree of rotation but is there a way to only display certain sections such as 45 degrees through 135 degrees? As opposed to 0-90 degrees for orientation purposes. Thanks in advance!

It doesn't seem like your screenshot went through. Anyways, I will try answer:
1. For the round tube, you should create a circular cross-section offset from the center. When you revolve this, it should make that "bent round tubing" shape. I've attached a really bad drawing to help.
2. The "Extent of Revolution" parameter is symmetrical. In other words, specifying 90 degrees actually gives you -45 to +45 degrees. In any case, you can then rotate the part about its Z-axis to get the right direction you want.
