You’ll likely see more traffic here as Max users begin playing...here goes:

Is there any way to create an ARC or archway in Imagemodeler?  I see primitives including cylinders, but no real way to define an arch.

If it isn’t capable of doing this, how do people normally work around this?  Edit the resulting geometry in a 3d package like Max to add/carve out the archways?  If so, what should I do with the geometry in Imagemodeler?

Example:  An 20’ wide entryway with an arched top - the archway begins at 10’ and reaches a peak of 15’...should I create it as a large opening encompassing the archway- basically an opening that is 20x15...and then add ‘bulk’ in the 3d tool...or should I create an opening that is 20x10, and then carve out the arch in Max?  (thinking the second might be easier)

Hopefully I just missed the arc tool
