Detailing an archway

Hi all!
I’m trying to model an arch based off of the Alhambra palace in Spain. Really, all I’m looking for is a way to uniformly create the interior curve rivets but am having a hard time getting a tool to do it for me. I’ve tried curve mode on dragdot and projection master among a few others… Any ideas? Surely this would be fairly easy to accomplish.

Thanks!

i would use an IMM brush myself. Without seeing your previous results it is hard to tell what exactly you’re looking for.

I’ve inserted an example of the arch and where the rivets need to run along. I drew those in quickly but I’d need a more defined shape like in the photo reference. So I’d either like to use a mesh or alpha to draw them all along the arch uniformly. The trouble is, how do I do that? And creating a curve to sit along the curve of the arch perfectly is another question.

Anyone know how this might be done? I used an alpha for the other details and am truly stumped on how to get nice results for the curved arch :S
