Now that the orthogon's have all been explained... wait, now that I think about it there's one more orthogon thing that can be shared, anyway another time for that, this week, an arched window, doorway etc. I was looking off a drawing in
Sacred Geometry by Miranda Lundy, but it's not as helpful as I would have liked. My first attempt looked like this:
After giving it some time and thinking a bit more about it, I was able to get it right.
Start off with a square.
Find the half way point at the top and draw diagonal lines to meet the point. Also through trial and error, I found that it's a good idea to go ahead and extend the diagonal lines up to where the arch will be.
Set your compass with the pointed end in the center mark at the top of the square and the drawing point on one of the top edges of the square. Arc like your drawing a circle from the upper square points but not drawing in between the extended diagonal lines.
Next set your compass with the point on one of the bottom corners of the square and the drawing point set to the opposite circle arc.
Repeat on the opposite side and there's your arch.
