triangle window

How is it done? The trapezoid window will not go to a zero shoulder height and the triangle window top edge from center does not go to align with edge. I am obviously missing something.

Is that what you're trying to achieve?

That would be it! however it will not square up.

Oh, by the way when I try to place that window I get the following error:

Interesting.

1) I actually placed the window in a wall with no issues.

2) Could it be to do with imperial vs metric?

3) Could it be related to your version 11? I am using 13, and will test it in 11 in about 6 hours when I get access to Library 11.

David,

Did you try with this free form window in the depository?

Srinivas,
Thanks very much! I have not tried but looks like it may work.

Still am curious as to why my window produces an error.

Hey guys..

Petri's window object looks fantastic!! I went to go grab it, but when I hit the 'download' button, it asks me to log in again, which brings me back to the depository front page. I go to the object, hit download and it starts the log in loop again! Argghhh!!!

Could I get one of you guys to e-mail it to me?

OR....

Tell me what I need to do with my machine's settings to let me break the loop.

Thanks!

It's working fine here Dave. Is some security software (or your browser setting) eating up all the AC-Talk cookies?

Vista,

Yeah - you're probably right. I did a cursory check of my browser settings, allowed cookies for AC forum, etc... still didn't work. I'll just
have to dig a little deeper.

I had a devil of a time getting my secure access to the NCARB website to do my IDP records, too. I'm going to review what I did on that, and apply those fixes to AC.

Still - Thanks a bunch to Rod and Peter for sending me copies of the file.. I got it going on, now, baby!!!

Peter also gave me a call and we had a nice conversation, which was fun, since I work at home and don't get to interact with an office full of smart folks like the old days. Peter could probably sense a little cabin fever!

Thanks again guys - you're all a good crew!

Hi Dave,

My name is in no way related to a service pack of Microsoft's much-pilloried operating system. 😉

Vistasp,

I would NEVER make such an association with a fine gentleman such as yourself - no worries!
