Help! How to model wood storefront window in historic bldg?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:18:15 GMT

I am new to posting, but I am perplexed on how to model a traditional wood storefront in an historic building. the store front has a transom window with a door and sidelights(one on one side and three on the other)? All of the door/window libraries don't appear to address this type of storefront. Or do I just have to "make the window"...just wondering if I am missing something obvious? are there any good video examples anyone knows of?

thanks so much

It's impossible to give specific advice without more details but its quite likely that you will have to assemble what you need from a variety of parts. Historical storefronts can vary pretty widely and the chances that the standard parts will do what you need are pretty small.

Thanks for your response Matthew.
I have begun piecing the storefronts together with a variety of parts that begin to tell the story in a very rudimentary way.

I was hoping that someone may have had similar situations and would have been able to point me to a you tube video or similar situation walking
thru a possible process to model unique conditions

thanks again

Cadimage Windows + Doors allow very good and quite complex door and window combinations. You can download a trial version to look at it.

Mark,

It would help if you could post an image of what you are trying to model, with some comments on the level of detail / accuracy that you want. There are a variety of solutions for what you describe - but if the shape of the frames and trim is important/essential, different techniques may apply.
