How to make the TOP of curtain wall arched

Hi all, 

 

How can you make the top of the curtain wall arched as if it was a window, but in my case the whole wall is a curtain wall and has a door in the middle but i wanted to have the top of it as an arch, i can't seem to find the way of doing it as a curtain wall... 

 

The only way i'm thinking on doing this is by using the 3D modeling and create it as a symbol, but then i would not be able to edit the door properties and so on, would i ??

In 3d space make an arc on the surface of the wall that represents your desired geometry. 

Convert to a NURBS Curve. 

Duplicate that NURBS curve and make it a surface using the loft tool.  (3d tool kit)

Then select fit walls to surface in AEC pull down menu.  Sometimes it is easier to put the surface on another layer.
