La rosca de un arco
Having trouble. I'm translating and I do not know what the "rosca de un arco" is. I know arch, but what is "rosca"? The answer or any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It is thread in different contexts, but here I need "rosca" as it applies to an arch. I don't think "thread" is applicable here, at least as far as I've been able to find out. Thanks though!

Edit: After some research, it appears that the "rosca" of an arch is a series of concentric steps or molding, receding toward the arch. It can also be used for a window or door. Apparently, "order" is the correct architectural term for this in English.

I'm having trouble opening the document. Essentially the sentence just says that the decoration crosses the "rosca" of the arch. I think it could be either "extrados" or "intrados". "intrados" is the interior curve of an arch and "extrados" is the exterior curve. But I can't find a confirmation any where that this is the translation. When I can get the document to open, I'll post the sentence.
