I am working on a new map, however there is an issue.

This will be my first map where I will use mesh objects, so im rather new to using meshes.

I made a BEAUTIFUL (or so i think) arcway that is 60 units wide and 60 units tall.
It is imported into the map from an external map file useing inclued, and defined and grouped and rotated 3 times.

The problem is the game engine doesn't render the whole thing, all I get is 2 little stubs by the ground.

Is there any work around for this problem?

we would probably need to see your map & mesh code to be able to tell you what the issue is.

" defined and grouped and rotated 3 times"

That doesn't sound right... your object is probably way up in the air or off to the side somewhere. The order that you rotate something makes a big difference.
When I'm working with meshes, I usually build the object (in the editor) at position "0 0 0" then use shift to move it around (in the bzw). This also allows you to have multiple copies of something, and the group positions make sense (in the bzw).

no part of the mesh appeared, all I saw were 2 stubs, not an arch

Is it upside down and underground?

it is a tad underground (i hope ic an get a screen shot to you soon)
