About this asset

This classic pointed arch wall opening Revit family delivers a clean Gothic profile cut for historical and period architectural partitions. The family defines an unglazed through-wall aperture featuring straight vertical jambs that transition into a sharply pointed lancet arch head. Modelled cleanly as an architectural void opening cutting directly through a host wall volume, the geometry avoids unnecessary decorative trims or extraneous casing profiles. This straightforward approach provides an authentic Gothic silhouette that reads crisply in both orthographic elevations and three-dimensional perspective views. The clean line-work ensures sharp boundary delineation across masonry, stone, or plastered partition thicknesses without cluttering drafting representations.

The download is a 164 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Built as a native wall-hosted Revit component, the family places directly into system walls and cuts host layers automatically. Users can load the RFA file into project templates and align the opening with internal circulation axes or exterior structural grids. Its lightweight geometric footprint keeps model performance fluid, ensuring consistent graphics across coarse, medium, and fine detail levels in floor plans, sections, and BIM coordination models.

Suited to heritage conservation, church conversions, Gothic revival renovations, and themed hospitality environments, this architectural opening anchors formal passageways and arched thresholds. It pairs naturally with stone masonry finishes, timber vaulting, and traditional flagstone flooring. Architects frequently specify this type of lancet opening when creating seamless portal transitions between naves, chapels, wine cellars, or historic domestic corridors where doors are omitted in favour of continuous spatial flow.
