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

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:
