I have a problem using the arch-window opening
The default arch-window use a semi-circle as an arch but this ,if the window is to long,make the window higher than the host wall.
I also try the ellipse window but i have the same problem
Is there an arch-window that use an arch smaller than the semi-circle of the standard window
Thanx

Miker,
You most likely already know this, but use SEO for a hole or if you need an empty opening with a frame make a custom window easily done in AC9. Hope that's what you're looking for.

Draw the slab of the required shape, set its ID to wallhole, save as a window.

Additionaly you can use as ID the "Wallniche"
It cut a piece from a wall not a through out hole
