    Arch for Porch

    Looking for some suggestions (that I can actually do in Pro 7); I would like to have an Arch over the doorway area and between the two pergolas.

    Any suggestions? I have tried Allen's arch, tried an arched doorway, tried some millwork arches that I have. Nothing seems to look just right.

    Isn't there a way to create a barrel ceiling or something?

    Hey Dee, when my hubby is done mowing the yard, I'll ask him what he would do. I'm not very good at design!

    What about an Arbor or Arch from the Library?

    It's in Fixtures (Exterior) > Landscape Fixtures > Arbors & Arches - Arch

    Pull the legs up and increase the depth.

    Found a solution for the Arch

    Had an "eye-brow dormer" in my stock of downloads; best I can do for what I want to achieve.

    Just too bad that I can't "thin" it down a little bit, the developer/designer from Chief did not provide that option; if thinned down it becomes a flat shape.

    But, overall I am pleased with it; it gives a different porch covering at least.

    Dee, my husband did a sketch from your drawing that is to large to upload, but I did this version by using three pergolas, the center pergola is an arched pergola I had in my library. Hope it helps
