Would be nice to be able to open an empty arched opening into walls.

There are all sorts of different shaped door and window openings in the default library.
Attached shows just the winow openings.

And if you are unsatisfied by those variations, any shape can be turned into a wall hole, or more simply, a complex profile that cuts a shape from a wall.

Thank you guys.

I did eventually make a complex profile for it, however, turning the odd shape windows that Barry (thank you Barry) is showing us, into an empty opening, makes the whole in the wall going back to a rectangular shape (linked to the 'empty window' library part of course.)

Look again. Barry showed you openings, not windows.

Woops.

True. Thank you. I was clicking on 'empty opening' from the 'half round' window.

Is there any way to have the half round opening with the flat side horizontal rather than vertical?

Adjust Arch Top Opening for no vertical sides, eh?
