Making a Gothic arch
- [Narrator] In this video, we're going to move on to an arch form that's slightly more complex. We're going to do a Gothic arch. Now what makes it more complex, is that it's got that point at the top, so we need to create our curve as actually two segments within our sweep, so our sweep will have two curves in it, instead of just the one, but otherwise, it's actually pretty similar to the other arches that we've already created. So, I'm going to switch over here to Revit and what I've got is a file called Arch Seed, which is really just a copy of the segmental arch file with the geometry removed. So I have my top reference plane here, my spring line, everything else is the same that we saw in previous videos. So now what I'm going to do is flex the parameters to make the proportions a little more appropriate for a gothic arch. That'll be my first step. So let's take the height here, and maybe I'll change that to two. Then I'm going to drag these dimensions out of the way, just to…
