In this tutorial, we will explore the basic features of RhinoVAULT to determine the equilibrium shape of a barrel vault with two boundary supports. To form-find the barrel vault, we will adjust the form diagram parameters for the allowable internal horizontal force limits: [**hmax** ](../../manual/7.-modify-diagrams/supports.md)(upper limit) and [**hmin** ](../../manual/7.-modify-diagrams/supports.md)(lower limit).

A barrel vault is unique because its edges orthogonal to the arches carry almost no load (e.g., **1e-5**), while the edges along the arches share the same internal horizontal force (e.g., **2**). The exception occurs at the boundary, where half of the horizontal force is used (e.g., **1**) for the small tributary area. Due to this special force distribution, the force diagram collapses into a single line.\
