4 round corners window

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:36:51 GMT

I'm trying to make a fixed window with 4 round corners. It's proven no to be easy. I'm definitely not an expert with GDL.

Can you please give me some help?

I'm trying WALLHOLE but it just doesn't work.

I need a simple fixed window for interior use with 4 round corners.

Thanks in advance

You can do this with CadImage's Door & Window Builder add-on but this is not free. I believe it's worth the cost as there is very few windows and doors that can not be created with it. Very flexible.

Cheers,

Thanks very much that's exactly what I was looking for. Didn't knew about ID WALLHOLE.

Just need to solve a problem that now i can't assign different materials to the window. I need aluminum, glass and paint 14. But I only get one single material assigned to the whole window.

Hi,

If you create it from slabs or other elements with different materials you will get a window with more materials

That's what i thought, but it's proven not so easy
I found this pdf
http://bauwesen.hs-zigr.de/fileadmin/template/caad/uebung_masswerk/e-Guide%20Gothic%20Rose%20Window.pdf
on point 5.5 it talks about sash and frame material but it's not working.

Do you have this box checked when you place the object?

Post the object and we can look at it and tell you what is going on, and potentially how to fix it.
