create an arched opening in an arched wall and join walls

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am wondering about how to create an arched opening in an arched wall. For, this isn't possible through modifying the profile. And how to join the pieces of walls into one wall ? (example join all the archs to create a one wall)

Thank youu

I use a GM Wall hosted opening family made up of a void blend shape of the arch. This can be parametric or not depending on your needs. For trim on a curved arched opening, I make an extrusion in plan, then two void blend extrusion  in elevation that cut out the bottom shape and the top.

Because there is no "projection plane" on a wall that is arc shaped in plan the profile of the wall is not able to be edited.  You can however use an in-place family void to cut the wall. So you can create a void that intersects the wall and then use the cut geometry tool to cut that shape from the wall.

Thank you a lot. You saved my life. 😄

Thank you For this video, But when I go to the plan view of this opening,

the cut on the wall should be perpendicular to the tangent on the wall.

Is it possible?

With a different shaped void it should be possible.  The main thing here is you have to use a void to cut the wall.

i may be wrong, but I'm thinking that if you create the void as a blend, you can align the sides to be perpendicular to the faces of the wall.  The front and Rear of your blend will be Larger and smaller arcs that match center point of the arc that makes the wall...

But can we get that as a family?
