Arched opening in Curved wall??

[adamalder3]

Does anyone know any ticks to create a arched opening in a curved wall?

[Scott D Davis]

It's gotta be done with an inplace family void. If you want a quick solution, draw a simple void extrusion in an arch shape, and cut the wall with it. In this case, the opening in plan will be parallel to the centerline of the radius wall. (the 'endcaps' of the opening will not be square with the wall)

If you want the endcaps square to the wall face, then you will need to draw an inplace family void blend, with a larger arch blending into a smaller arch, and the blend will need to be adjusted to make the opening 'square'. The only drawback to this is that the arched portion is angled relative to the ground plane.

Hi
I could do with mass but I cut wall with void curve shape it can't , option 2: start with mass only , when finish mass then I convert it to curwall with curve opening it turn to curve wall only ( without curve opening ).
