Peaked Window

[edcsteve]

I am sure this is an easy problem, but for the life of me I am not finding it.  I need to create a window that fits in a gable, peaked in the center, it will not match the roof pitch.  It is for an as-built plan, any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

Look in the ARCH area of the window dbx. There are options in there for dogear and gothic as well as arched.

It is something you make using the window dialog like Joey said-Arch tab. Look at the different settings there and adjust the input box setting until you get the look you wish.

With a little work you can do it in the window specification, shape. The only thing is the casing in the peak flattens off a couple inches and it will only let the side offsets go to 29 1/2" instead of 30 on the 60" window.

Thank you for your help, I knew I was just missing something small, being able to look at the window specification did it.  Thank you all again.

A couple things:

 

1.  You don't actually need 2 offsets.  Setting one or the other to 30" works just fine and does NOT result in casing with the little flat spot on the top.

2.  You can also simply use a Tudor Arch with the radius set to zero.

The Tudor Arch works great, thanks for the info.
