I feel like I'm missing something very simple here guys, but I've tried messing with the arch tool settings to no avail.

Basically -- whenever I create an arch its oriented in a direction
that's no help. I have to go through 3 manipulations to get it
rotated correctly so I can put it into my wall or doorway and this is
just pissing me off, because through all the rotations and resizes, the
arch gets all distorted.

Is there a way to change which way the arch is facing (and where the
bottom is, and where the top is)? If I didn't word that correctly
just tell me, and I'll upload some pictures.

In the Hammer options, go to the 2D views tab and check the "Reorient
primitives on creation in the active 2D view". The rest is
self-explanatory, I think. :smile:
