Odd window shape.

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:44:26 GMT

I can't seem to find any reference to this type of problem, either due to my lack of proper nomenclature or its something everyone else already knows.

So forgive me if this has been brought up before.

I'm attempting to create a window that in elevation, looks like this image. (see attached)

I can get a sloped header using D&WB but getting a canted vertical on one side is proving to be more difficult.
I know I can create one out of walls and slabs, but I'm trying to avoid that for obvious reasons.

Does anyone know of a gdl for this type of window?
Or am I just missing some object/setting that is already included.

I'm using AC10 w/ door and windowbuilder 3.5
thanks

Check out the "Fee form window" object in the Object Depository.

Thanks Peter, I'd forgotten all about the depository, good find.

It works fairly well.

I still need to be able to break that window up with some mullions/operations.
But I should be able to use this in conjunction w/ slabs as a workaround for now.

thanks

Try using different shape options in DWB, as in the attached image...
