MCG Arches 1.05 for 3ds max 2016-2023

The only Parametric creation tool ever of various types of arches: Circular, Elliptical, Segmental, Lancet, Trefoil, Ogee, Reverse Ogee, Inflexed and Horseshoe. Using the Curvature adjustment, you could get other arch types like Parabolic, Elliptical …etc.

This creates splines, then you can Extrude and Quadrify into a Mesh…or you can also Quadrify then Shell…this should be done if you use the 2 Doors option as Extrude will not work properly with the ‘doors’ opening/closing.

Ver 1.05: HUGE update

• Arch Tweaks so you can adjust the Width, Height and Vertical Offset of the Primary Arch
• Arch Apex Tweaks allows you to create pointed shape from other shapes…eg. even from an ordinary semi-circle…so now you can have pointed Horseshoe for example.
• Cauliflower Tweaks so you can manipulate the mini-arch similar to a primary Arch.
• Default creation scale to ‘tens’ instead of ‘hundreds’ to suit people using meters instead of cms.
• Note: when using Cauliflower, avoid tight overlaps like Trefoil. Also when Chamfering the Cauliflower and if you use Flip, ensure you have ‘some’ Falloff…otherwise, you’ll see huge geometry..until you enter some value in Falloff.
• Added a Units version for people with System Unit = m and Display Unit = cm Ver 1.05 now contains both Generic and Units versions.
