Select the top section of the arch and press shift+c, then choose inverted bevel. You may have to press ctrl+i to flip the texture on the patch when done.

You've already done the hard part. Now, you just have to draw individual brushes along the top edges of the individual sections of the meshes in your arch, and then hit E to line up the verts of the brush with the verts on your arch, like so:

I didn't know about the inverted bevel thing, but there's usually more than one way to do something with Radiant.

You need to cap the outside curved patch of frame which you thickened..

ah thanks guys, i have a look at it tommorow, i try to remake the church from mp_outskirts

btw i tryed the inverted cap, but that doesnt work that well for the arch i made, cuz my arch isnt round

edit2: i tryed your way aswel ITOE_MC, but how do you get the verts exactly on the lines of the arch ? if i zoom in i see they never are exactly on the arch lines

Go to grid 1 or .5, and select the meshes that comprise your arch. Then hit Ctrl + G to snap the verts to the grid. It should be easy to line up the wall brushes with the window then.

If you're still having trouble, PM me and I'll send you the little .map file from the pic I posted above.

have you tried capping it (shift+C) and moving the corner vertices so its flat along the top? hit "shift [" or "shift ]" to add a little more arch to them if you like.
Happy mapping

damn, i just cannot get it to work. i tryed any way you guys posted, snap to grid works but thats not a good way to do it i believe, you will have little holes in the brushes then

does someone here have xfire? and can have a look at my .map , im also in the xfire cod4 community group as shivg

the plan is to make this window, am i doing it good? cuz idk how to put the textures on what i just made
