Making a trapezoid window that slopes down?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:36:45 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a trapezoid window that slopes down (see pic), as it is in a wall that is on a downward angle (see pic).

Any ideas?

Thanks
Lockers

There should be a trapezoid window in the standard library. It's under Special Windows (in the INT version at least).

Alternatively, try the Free Form Window in the Depository.

AC needs to know where to find the objects so you have to make sure they're loaded in the library.

Basically, copy the gdl objects to a folder (or a folder tree once you have enough objects) and load those folders using:

File > Libraries & Objects > Library Manager
