An arched wall opening provided as a parametric Revit family for cutting clean curved voids through interior and exterior partition assemblies. This element provides a clean semicircular arched profile that cuts through host wall geometry to form an architectural pass-through or unglazed aperture. The profile features straight vertical jamb reveals that transition smoothly into a curved head without applied architraves, trim, or moulding. Visible here hosted within a solid wall panel, the void creates a defined architectural threshold with crisp returns. The unadorned geometry delivers crisp shadow lines along the inner jamb and soffit, maintaining a flush, minimal junction with adjacent wall faces suitable for contemporary or classical schemes.
The download is a 594 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.
Designed as a wall-hosted Revit family, the component places directly onto vertical host walls in plan or elevation views. Users can adjust family parameters in the properties palette to adapt the opening width, overall height, and springline curvature to match precise architectural framing dimensions. The void cuts automatically through multi-layered wall assemblies, ensuring accurate presentation in scheduled openings, interior elevations, and section details.
Suitable for residential living rooms, boutique hotel suites, Mediterranean villas, and retail showrooms, this arched pass-through creates fluid sightlines between adjoining spaces. Architects and interior designers frequently specify an arched wall opening or curved portal in schematic design and tender documentation to replace standard cased door openings with sculptural circulation transitions, pairing naturally with plaster finishes, microcement surfaces, and exposed masonry walls.
