Describe the feature

Hi XFactHD, Howester84 here.

First off, love the mod immensely and I thank you for the time and effort you have spent on it.

Would it be possible to add arches to the framedblocks mod?
Similar to that of architecturecraft. So like an arched inner block and an arched outer (more of a curved corner with the outer type)

I used to build with them a lot in the architecturecraft 1.12 days and found them to be incredibly useful for designing futuristic bases and also gothic style builds.

Understand you are a busy person and I don't want to pester you too much, but if you can consider it as an option that would be fantastic.

Thank you for the response and the explanation. The three pane gradual arch looks great and would be a fantastic addition. Whether that be in an addon or the main mod. I would certainly be making use of it.

Properly rounded arches are unfortunately not viable due to the complexity of the required geometry (the rounded surface is basically just a lot of tiny flat surfaces, each with a slightly different angle).
However, a simplified version that splits the arch into three planes, each with a different angle, (kinda like shown in the screenshot below, except more evenly split) is certainly feasible and it's something I've had in the back of my mind for quite a while. I'm not sure yet though whether I want to put it into the primary mod or a planned addon specifically about slightly more complex, architecture-related shapes.
