Curved Lintel Recessed into Brick

[Adam_Gibson]

Looking for suggestions on the fastest way to add curved lintels (or brick molding) like the attached. The windows are various widths but the lintel heights are consistent. Thank you!

Maybe a wall material region?

That would work but I'm hoping for a high-level workaround rather than addressing each window individually. Thanks!

You might find it easier to use a polyline solid.

There isn't an "auto" solution really...busy work.

 

I attempted to use a transom window, changed the glass material to color-white and moved the window more toward the exterior of the window. This looks ok from the exterior...but of course you'll have a transom window on the interior...which I'm sure you don't want.

H'mm. Perhaps I should look at creating a molding p-line and adding it the the library, assuming it will stretch correctly as a lintel. What do you think?

Funny was I just about to Post that a Symbol works well, that is the Option I have used before,  it works fine, with locked stretch planes so only the width is changeable and the Centre Tool makes it pretty fast once you have the height set on the 1st one. Here I also made a Sill Molding for under the Window too, which is fully Auto.  The Window itself is set with a 8-9" high Flat Lintel .
