Model an arched roof.

What is the best way to model this brick arch (roof)
See pic below.

I thought an arched beam would be great but apparently can't do one. Shell with a custom edge? Not sure how to do that either.

Extrude a custom beam profile....maybe that's it.

Model it laying down flat on the ground with a complex profile wall.
You'll get the profile you want, you can curve the wall to suit the arch and the top will mitre.
Then save as a morph, rotate and move into position.
As a morph you can then edit it further if you need.
