Bezier Curve in grasshopper

I'm going to model a simple room with a ceiling that has a cross section of cubic bezier curve, the room will be used for the purpose of daylihting analysis using Diva, additionally I'd like to use Galapagos to test a variety of the 4 control points that control the curve shape to get the best results ? do you have any ideas how to implement that?. I looked everywhere in how to code the bezier equation in grasshopper , but no luck.

Please note I'm a beginner in Grasshopper

There is a Bezier Span component native to GH.

David, thanks for the help. I'm still learning Grasshopper, I was wondering if you could write the names of components in the image you provided.

From left to right:

Bezier Span

If you want your grasshopper to look like Davids you need to go into the "Display" drop down and click "draw icons"

Also, if you can't find these icons in the ribbon layout simply double click on an empty space in the work area and a search bar will appear. All of the names above are the names you'll want to search
