One.  I used AutoCAD 2013.

Two.  There is no "app".  All commands can be found in AutoCAD.

This is how I did it.  By the way, it is a revolvedsurface.  You can union the four pieces together to form a regular surface then you can use the Thicken command to turn it into a solid.

A dome like that can be constructed in 3D with a segment of an ellipse that is revolved.  Did you want to end up with a surface or a solid?

Here is the elliptical shape you described.  It was produced by an plugin app that, unfortunately, is not available for AutoCAD 2009.uploads/244286/Ellipsoid.dwg

Can someone help me with how I can create a 3D model of an elliptical dome?
 
The ellipse dimensions are 14"wide x 18" long and the dome is 4" high. This would be the cover for an elliptical manway on a pressure vessel.

Thank you.
