Arches Created 18 years ago2005-07-10 18:32:37 UTC by Snpbond

Whats the best way to make an arch? I tried the arch brush tool, but they arnt hollow, lets say you have a hallway like this (_) and you want an arch to got across the top of it, a 180, but when you use the brush tool it blocks the hallway off, what can I do?

Make an arch with the primitive, play with previewing and the length of the brushes, and make sure you're working in an even square (256x256.)

length of the brushes? what do you mean?

In the Arch control panel box, adjust the thickness or whatnot so it's not a solid curve.

Personally, I prefer making arches by creating a cylinder (with either 8, 16 or 32 sides depending on how smooth you want the arch to be) and then lining it up in the "doorway" where you want the arch. Then I make the arch by hand out of blocks using the cylinder as a guide, before deleting the cylinder.

I find the actual arch tool to be a pain in the butt!

I made an image which might help you:

Nice, thanks!
