How would you build this window?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:34:00 GMT

I'm modelling a historic building and there are several windows like this that need to be modeled. I've tried using all sorts of combinations of casing/reveals/wall inset/niche to no avail.

The closest I have come I will put in a following post, but some guidance here is much appreciated!

If it's not possible to model the shutters, that is OK, but getting the reveal/sill/wall thickness right is the priority..

This is as far as \I have been able to get modelling the window using the window tool.

I would probably turn off Trims/Casing and model those using the Slab/Shell/Morph tool.
Probably Morph would be the fastest and most versatile for the task.

jswims:

Another approach is to place a Door opening for the main opening in the Wall, then place a thinner Wall in that opening that hosts the Window.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
