Stone Entry - How to?

[PitMan71]

Morning guys... How can I create this porch with Chief, specifically the arched stone above the columns? I have tried multiple methods but I am not able to get the look I am looking for. I would like to do it all on the ground floor.

Shane,

 

Steve of Chief Skills has a video that addresses this along with many other good videos:

Sometimes a beefed up kitchen valance will work in those situations. If the interior of the porch has a different material, transform/replicate the shape on the "-Z" axis a small amount to separate it, then adjust the material and depth of the object so it matches the shape, yet the stone will be as deep as you need it to be

Pony Walls! Create your porch using a wall type for the stone. Add windows, not doorways, simply to be able to add the keystone > 'Treatments' / Millwork Above Casing. Position and size all windows; use a pass-through and remove frame and casing.

Change walls to pony walls, with the lower wall being an air gap type of wall. Place columns manually.

Thanks for the help everyone. Rob's solution seemed to be the cleanest, most direct way to accomplish this.
