Hi Steve,

You can create the arch in the main wall and the square window in a faux wall behind the arch
In this way you can set the properties separately

Notice that, in the situation above you can't texture the square window through the arch--> the windows' or doors' openings just render the surfaces as transparent, but the walls are still there

Thanks Patricia, I understand that but how do I create the arched recess in the wall?

Hi Steve

You can try these options
1 - 3D Objects library--> Exterior--> Windows and doors --> your will find several Archways POBs (Punch Objects)--> if you wish, your can modify these elements with the 3D workshop Power Tool
2 - If your arches are embedded in a wall--> draw the wall--> insert a curved empty door casement--> texture the trim with the same texture of the wall-->set the trim to the minimum thickness--> draw the second wall with the window behind
See this example

(see the windows one the left, upper floor)

The recessed arch is in the wall (front) and the window in the wall behind
