Re: Figure Out The Radius
I get it now, Doh!
I came up with 154 1/8" for the radius, not that it matters in the slightest though. Hi Manny.

Re: Figure Out The Radius
I did it on my CAD program using a 3 point circle. 10' chord with a point in the middle 1' higher. My answer is accurate to a 1/4"
And first of all the arch on the pass through doesn't need to be precise anyway. You take a thin board and bend it and connect the three dots. If you need trim you make a template. Now if we were on an intergalactic space craft you might need the precise radius. Go fly a ship Manny.
