I tend to prefer slabs to walls when doing things like this. I could have made it with walls and cut holes with door or window openings
in fact I made this coffer both ways. Well, I started, but the wall method was taking to long.
Anything that are multiples I create one and, you guessed it, multiplied it. cmd/ctrl+U is a great time saver. I did one side of the arch and then mirrored it to get the other.
The arch portion I made similarly, one int. support rotating copies, etc.
The custom profiles I created for the trim around the coffer are mirror images so I can draw the bottom leg, drag a copy up and then apply the mirror image so the trim faces down towards the original one.
Most of this was done in the 3D window. Only when I was placing the vert. trims in the arch and some rotating were easier to do in the plan window.

Remember, this is just one way to accomplish this. Challenge yourself by thinking through the pieces from which in real life the coffered arch will be constructed.

...and Matthew if you can explain your method to do the curved part...
There is a limitation to this method though. The walls and columns as panel trims don't clean up quite right at the corners if there are any undercuts in the profile. For example ovolos and ogees work fine but beads and band moldings fill in a bit badly at the corners.
Otherwise the walls and columns clean up nicely and automatically (no need for SEOs).

now another challenge, thanks to the help from Erika and Matthew I was able to create the arches including one with an ellipse, but now another thing came up.. javascript:emoticon(':?')how do I model the same coffer detail for the three arches that are in a curved wall, is there a way to bend an object any ideas... thanks!!
