| Settings | Tool Properties |
The Arch tool builds a wall with a rounded doorway or window through it, as a single brush whose front is one face.
Drawing an arch
- Pick Arch on the toolbar.
- Drag the wall's footprint on a surface: its width and its thickness.
- Let go, then drag upward for its height. Click to finish.
While dragging: Scroll wheel turns the wall a quarter turn, Ctrl+Scroll wheel changes the number of arc segments.
To make the archway deeper later, drag its front face with the Edit Face tool. In the game, the arch collides exactly: its collision is made of the legs and the pieces of the arc.
