Check out this tutorial ... http://softplan.com/...ening-tutorial/ ... it's for a garage door, but applying the same principle should get you where you want to be.

 

Also check out some of the manufacturers doors too, as there are already some arched head doors in the library that may match what you require.

Im not finding it but thanks for the link.

[Keith Almond]

What can't you find Allen?

[Allen McDonnell]

I thought you meant that exact door....

 

Anyway, i got it....  Copied an elevation opening, exploded it, modified it and then recreated a L and R.

Looks good Allen.

Hey Allen

 

How did you get the glass in that door?   I tried and I cant get the glass to show up.

 

Thanks

[Keith Almond]

How are you trying to setup that door?

[Tom Rogers]

Nice. Looks great.   I was just looking for that door.  I will need to create one.  I was short on time and didnt need it for 3D so I had to explode and do it in 2D

DOOR GLAZING: This is a section from the thread referred to in post #2

 

Openings can be added with DETAIL>OPENING SHAPES>DOOR GLAZING

It is probably best if you want grilles to physically draw them if you have multiple windows that require them. The grille function does work on custom designs, but is a little hit and miss as to whether it works as you think it should.

 

This is an important step .... If you used the door glazing above, it will show as glass - otherwise any other shape that has glass, will need the glass added separately. If you want to include glass, it must be drawn in a dotted line. Personally I find it best to draw a dotted polygon (normally in a different colour). I position it where it's needed, and then right click inside the polygon, choose POLYGON and explode it. That's not the only way, but it works for me, so that's what I use - If you don't explode the polygon, it wont show as glass.

Exactly what Keith said.

[randolph cohn]

for the glass,

after you've put in the appropriate lines/arcs,

i OFFSET the most inner line/arc 1/4" inward,

edit the arcs to "dashed" (if still solid)

fillet the corners of those new lines/arcs.

 

feel free to add or correct my directions.
