Brick Arched Header & Rowlock Sill Modeling Best Practice

[payingtoomuch]

Relatively new to revit but making good progress now.

Have no idea where to begin with this.

1st delimma would be to model or not to model.

Note the following:

• Sill will be a typical rowlock sill
• Sill will be proud of the wall face brick
• Header will be arched with 3 stacked rowlocks (vs a typical soldier course).
• Header will be recessed from face of brick

Wondering if anyone can get me heading in the right general direction with this as would relate to best practice.

if you want to make a 3d model brick arch than maybe my screencast can help you.....it is a Parametric Brick arch

Thanks Constantin! I took a look at your video. Maybe a little over my head right now but I'm willing to give it a shot. Would be a good learning experience for me for a lot of different things. Exposure if nothing else.

Wondering also if there might be a way to do this with sweeps. I know there is a way to do it with a straight header but not sure if it would be possible to do an arched sweep.

Assuming since there is a way to do a straight soldier course header that there would also be a way to do a sloped rowlock sill.

Anyway, still trying to come up with best practice for doing this in revit.
