Hi!

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but it seems impossible to create archs with a
sharp upper end? I mean: It somehow looks like the intersection of a
cylinder and a box, as you also suggest. This doesn't exactly do, what I
want (sorry if my poor english made me explain it in a way that is not
understandable). The first answer I received used two cylinders and a box
and did exactly what was required. I tried to do this with Moray and it
works..

Thanks for your answer! I'm surprised how many people answer newbie
questions here! It's great!

Greetings,
