Angled Jamb Window?

architect — Wed, 07 Feb 2024 18:30:17 GMT

Any way to angle one side of a window jamb to follow the roof line?

There are some Special Windows available in Archicad Library but no one has that angled side as you need. Anyway, you could check this oldy article to create a custom window/door with any form you want:

@architect Why don't you do a curtain wall piece? That has a high level of customization as opposed to a non-parametric custom object...

Sorry to somewhat contradict you @Ricardo Lopez . I just wanted to offer another solution.

Unless really versed in GDL, it is hard to master changing any parameters of a custom object (materials, surfaces, contours...). That is a limitation I will probably always have personally...

Do note, a Curtain Wall will be seperate from your wall and you will still need to cut out a hole in your wall.

I haven't check it in a while, but there use to be an add-on named ArchiGlazing that could help too.

I don't know if it is still available. 🤔
