Hi,
can someone help with this please?

PUT -A/2,yy1+rr1,1,
A/2,yy1+rr1,1

FOR angle=alfa TO 180-alfa+EPS STEP delta
y=(yy1+rr1)*sin(angle)
x=(yy1+rr1)*cos(angle)
PUT x,y,1
NEXT angle

PUT -A/2+(A/2+e1),yy1+rr1,-e2,
A/2-(A/2+e1),yy1+rr1,-e2

FOR angle2=alfa2 TO 180-alfa2+EPS STEP delta2
y=(yy1+rr1-(A/2+e1))*sin(angle2)
x=(yy1+rr1-(A/2+e1))*cos(angle2)
PUT x,y,-e2
NEXT angle2

I would code the arch into the niche (not rotated like you have it) and then use a tube or prism of some sort to fill the rest

than you,
Sides of niche are not perpendicular...

The sides of a niche don't have to be perpendicular.
They can be a prism so they will be perpendicular but they can also be a pyramidal or wedged where the sides won't be perpendicular.

I haven't played with it enough myself to tell you the actual settings - or if in deed it will actually work.

Remember if you can't do it with one wall niche you can combine 2 or more to get the shape you need.

@Barry, thank you for a tip. I try this, but in this type of niche_shape (arch) it doesn't work. maybe I overlooked something i don't know.
So i tried "SenecaDesignLLC" method (thank you again) with tube. (i hope this is the way) Unfortunately I have problem with tube geometry - it is deformed.

looks like you will have to extrude and cutform? no tube they are problematic

if you find the right calculations for distance, the wall niche with method 2 gets you what you want

Re: wallniche

rozky — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 08:29:26 GMT

finally I find solution. Not nice but it works.
wallniche with method 1,A,B,....Subgroup with Prism A,B(prism interact with wall) and Ruled.
If someone have a time try to find smarter solution with this parameters.
Thank you all...

I accomplished what you are after using three tubes, and two cutforms. see the video.

the tube has to be cut on the edge in order to have the corners line up. not sure why the tube doesnt accomplish this on its own ( you would think it would ) but thanks for asking about all of this i figured out a bunch of stuff for my windows.

very nice! GDL coding is really fun I wish I had more time.

I fully agree. I started making time for gdl.
