Arches are architectural elements that have been used for centuries to create structurally sound and visually appealing designs. They are characterized by their curved shape, which allows for a distribution of weight and forces in a way that transfers the load to supporting columns or walls.

Arches have played a significant role in various architectural styles, from ancient Roman and Gothic to contemporary designs. Arches can be found in grand entrances, windows, bridges, and even in decorative features. They add a sense of elegance, grace, and timelessness to buildings, creating a captivating focal point and enhancing the overall architectural composition. Today we will see how to create them in 3ds Max.
