Is it possible to have the windows like this with a splayed reveal/opening?

0101 — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:09:13 GMT

Hello!

I am trying to adjust a window in ArchiCAD so that one corner of it would go slightly upwards to follow the direction of the roof. However, it seems that this adjustment is not possible within the ArchiCAD library window? The only way to achieve this is to save the window as a morph and then create a new window object? But in doing so, I would lose the slanted reveal/opening. Additionally, it seems that newly created window wallhole profiles can only be created perpendicular to the wall. Is it possible to have the windows like this with splayed reveal/opening without using Solid element operations?

Thanks!

Operating system used: Windows ARCHICAD 24

Hello @0101,

You are able to create you own windows by modeling first off all the opening without the window and adding your window after into the first one.

Think to change ID element by "wallhole" to modify the opening outline.

I tried to create a splayed reveal by modeling the opening without the window and changing its ID to wallhole. However, it only creates reveals perpendicular to the wall.

Hello @0101 ,

I invite you to see my 4 print screens.

The red slab ID element is "wallhole".

I have added a little GDL line into 3D script and created a new angle parameter.
