Sketching Arcs

There are several options for sketching arcs in Revit Architecture:
Arc passing through 3 points
You specify a 3-point arc by drawing the chord that connects the 2 ends of the arc, and then you specify
the angle or radius with the third point.
Arc from the center and end points
To create an arc from the center and end points, first specify the radius for the arc, and then specify the
angle. You cannot specify an arc of more than 180 degrees using this method, although you can modify
the arc after you draw it.

of the polygon.
