Any ideas where I can get a combination of a front door with sidelights and all three be arched together?
TIA,

Start with an OTB window assembly style with an arched top. Modify the style to meet your needs. Build a door with an arched top to match the geometry and use it instead of the default in the assembly style.

I didn't want to have to go down that path - I have a window assembly in plan with a door and sidelites - guess I can fake it in the elevations. I don't use the model for my finall elevations. I just use them for finding locations of the parts there - windows, doors, roofs, railings, etc. Call me a radical but the models do not work for me.
Thanks anyway. Guess I just wanted to have someone just hand it to me instead of having to work on it. (Gee - I am sounding like a spoiled brat now! LOL) :twisted:

Have you looked at the out of the box content lately? Hinged Single Center 3-0x6-8 + Sidelights + Transom Arched
Would that work for you, or are you wishing to have independent arches over each lite and door?

DOH - I hate having to have my nose rubbed into the obvious sometimes!
I checked it out - the only thing is that the door is flat on top making it appear to stick it's little corners out some.
No Arched topped doors available as far as I can tell in the box.
I will use this one in the mean time unless someone has a door wth an arched top for me! (Dreaming here a little - don't burst my bubble!) :screwy:
Thanks,

Can you show us the elevation of what you propose?

I found what I had been missing - I created a door style that had an arched top.
Edit Door Style> Design Rules> Predefined> Arched
Took the transom out of the grid on the Window Assembly Style -
Hinged Single Center 3-0x6-8 + Sidelights + Transom Arched.
Then I replaced the Hinged Single door with my new door.
Would have been easier if somene had sent me one. :wink:
Getting lazy on a Friday afternoon,
