About this asset

Designed with a pointed profile, this parametric cathedral arch door Revit family provides elegant glazed portal geometry for heritage and modern schemes. Characterised by its distinct gothic pointed head, this opening features full-height structural glazing held within minimal dark metal framing. The assembly is framed by solid reddish sandstone masonry surrounds with splayed stone voussoirs and precise rebate detailing. Inside the arched portal, large transparent panes provide unimpeded sightlines to interior circulation, stairs, and structural woodwork. The vertical proportions echo historic cathedral arcade architecture while the clean perimeter profiles and delicate frame mullions deliver a crisp, contemporary interface between traditional masonry massing and expansive glazed building envelopes.

The download is a 430 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.

In Revit, load the door family directly into the project environment and host it into standard or multi-layer exterior wall assemblies. Adjust type parameters to coordinate frame depth, overall opening width, and arch spring height to match architectural elevations. Material parameter channels enable custom assignment of glazing transparency, frame finishes, and surround reveals for realistic BIM scheduling and visual presentations.

Well suited for cultural institutions, ecclesiastical renovations, museum pavilions, and high-end civic architecture, this element bridges heritage masonry fabric with transparent additions. Architects seeking a pointed arch glazed door, arched entry portal, or gothic glazed opening can deploy this component across schematic design, design development, and presentation renders. It pairs naturally with stone cladding, curtain wall systems, polished concrete terraces, and historic brick or sandstone facades.
