This tutorial will show you how to create arches (The easy way).
Step 1 (Structure)
First you do is to determine the place you are going to locate the arch. In this case I will do it between these two columns.
Create a brush that will represent the total size of it.
With the brush selected, go to Patch > Primitive > End Cap, this will convert th brush in to a curved patch.
Usually it needs to be rotated and scaled to fit in its place.
When done, just go to patch > Cap.
In the small options windows that pops up just check Inverted Endcap.
The basic structure of the arch is done.
Step 2 (Texturing)
When applying textures to this arch you may notice that some of them just doesnt look correct or simply looks a bit trange.
When this happen, juto select all the strange looking faces, and press ¨S¨ for the Surface Editor and click Lmap.
Also maybe you will need to select some faces individually to rotate or correct the direction of the texture.
As a final touch I added a block on top of the arch to complete the structure and now is ready to use.
