Curved arched window

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:24:55 GMT

I'm currently modelling a historic building and so I am also modelling the quirks of an old Victorian building. Is there any way to customise a curved window to have an arched top? Seems like It's one or the other at the moment. I'm still running Archicad 21

You can make any kind of window for Yourself by drawing it in 3D parallel to the ground and safe it as library-part.

German but You should be able to follow it:

The video by Hmooslechner is good (even if you do not read Deutsch!). There is also a good ArchiCAD Help article here: https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/20/INT/index.htm?rhcsh=1&rhnewwnd=0&rhmapid=#t=AC20Help%2F03_1_Elements_Virtual_Building%2F03_1_Elements_Virtual_Building-208.htm&rhsearch=custom%20window&rhhlterm=custom%20window&rhsyns=%20

I have attached an example of what you can create with a 'custom window'; I made a window with a Gothic arch and lead glass panels (tracery).
