BWBParticipantHow does one get the sunburst pattern for a transom over a door? I have stumbled into it before over a window, but can’t remember how I did it. Trying to recreate the look of the attached front door.
Also, how does one create the barrel ceiling such as on this same porch?
Thanks for any help.

jkzimmParticipantHi Debbie,
You cannot assign an image to the transom getting sunburst affect as it also assigns the same image to the side lights.
You can get the basic layout with settings but the transom can only have vertical mullions (3 shown in attachment).
If you leave the transom off, you can insert an arched ‘window’ sized to become the transom. Elevate it above the door and move it into position. That ‘glass’ could them be assigned a texture (image) of a sunburst detail.

If you follow the methods of Arched Brackets for Post Frame Construction on Envisioneers You Tube site, you could actually make your own 3D ‘member’ , save it to catalog for future use.
You could then insert the member. Give it depth and elevate it up into the arched transom.
You need to import your door with blank transom to worksheet. Then follow the tips in the video on created one continuous closed polyline. Save it into members as a custom shape and then insert it in drawing.
It takes a while but is kind of fun to do, good to learn and once done the same detail could be used again without remaking it.
Hope the URL listed works.

Any advice on the barrel ceiling? I tried inserting an arched opening at the bottom of a wall and elevating it, but it kept blowing up and wouldn’t work.
Thanks much.

If you use a roof by pick points and or in a new location (set to be the height of ceiling) you can edit the roof to create a barrel shape. Because it is ‘thin’ you just assign an underside material to the ceiling texture.
Two sides of the roof are set to ‘arched’ the two ends to gable. You will get an ‘end ‘wall’ ‘ where the gables occur , but the main length will represent the barrel affect.
I think my roof training videos still apply to versions 12 and even 13. If you wish I can send you a list of what is covered. They are $40 and over two hours of videos on basic to advanced roofs.
Envisioneer roofs are the greatest !

Attached is quick Barrel Clg using a roof. I didn’t reduce the overhang so the white soffit is showing.
The ‘gable ends’ DO NOT have the drop down I mentioned above. That happens when using ceilings.
I will also post v13 Ceiling which now has better options for Barrel Clg using Ceiling tools.
