Using the Arch Tool

From Valve Hammer Editor 3.4

Using the Arch Tool

The Arch tool allows you to make complicated curved arches or circular staircases simply and quickly.

There are a number of options you can modify here:

  • Wall width - this is the width of the individual pieces of the arch. You can extend the arch walls outward by using a negative value here.

  • Number of sides - enter a value between 3 and 100.
  • Arc - this is the number of degrees the arch will span. You can enter a value here that is between 8 and 360.
  • Start Angle - this lets you adjust the angle of the arch pieces.
  • Add Height - Each successive piece of the arch will be raised this many units. This allows you to make, for example, a curved stairway. In that case, you'd set this value to the height you want each stair to rise.
