Well, the arch piece is 3 wide. Using the 1/2 stud offset was the only way I
could figure out how to make it work w/o leaving holes towards the top of the
arch. It was a little difficult to do, but building in tan made it a little
easier. I am currently doing a building with these same arches but the body of
the building is dark orange. Much fewer parts to choose from. I have run out
of curse words and started making up new ones because of all the obsticals I
have encountered with it.
Sometimes I tend to make things more difficult than they are, though. Can it be
done w/o the offset? Anyone?

Thanks for looking and commenting!
