Has anyone ever created a pie shape in 3D? I am able to use vertical slabs in 3D for rectangular shapes but I am not having much luck with a pie shape. A vertical cylinder is close but has 3/4 more circle than I need.

I am trying to create a curved counter section that sits in a section of counter that has a rectangular shape.... then the pie shape ....and then turns 90 degress to another rectangular section to form a cash desk area.

I want to be able to use the pie shape while rotating a store plan (with counters) in o2c ...using the object viewer.

Just draw a horizontal slab over the 2d plan. Divide up the arcs to give you snapping points. Another possibility is to use a revsurf but this may have to be exploded to take different colours or textures.
