I'm trying to create an arched opening for an overhead garage door. Revit won't let me modify the opening of my existing family so in the model I tried adding a short piece of wall with an arch, but when I join that wall to the existing wall with the door, the short wall disappears. I tried creating a component arch and joining it to the existing wall, but the line of the garage door shows through. Any ideas how to get rid of this line?
edit: when I tried adding the short piece of wall, the rendering was ok but the elevation showed the line of the door thru the wall

Why won't Revit let you modify the opening? It should let you edit the sketch in elevation view.

Sounds like the head of the door is defined by a reference plane and is locked to it. Be sure that the opening (cut) and the door head is not linked to a refence plane. I assume you only want the opening arched, and not the door head, or both?

I think that's why it's not working, but I have not had time to play around with it, and yes, I just need the opening arched.
