- [Instructor] In this chapter, we're going to build a more complex family, and it's going to be a custom door family that uses an arched top. That arched top will be based on a three-center arc, and will use a custom molding that we'll sweep around that opening using some of the profiles that we've already built in previous videos, and we'll use a profile to shape both the opening in the wall, and the door panel itself. So we're going to start with that profile, that opening profile, so let's dissect that a little bit. It's created from a three-center arc. A three-center arc just uses three different arcs that have three center points, and we can see those center points here in the middle, and notice that they form this equilateral triangle, so naturally, knowing that will make it very easy for us to figure out the formulas that are required to build that up. There's a lot of equality going on in this profile, so we have three equal spaces across the bottom, we have two equal spaces…
