Tilted walls can be easily made using the Solid Element Operation using a matching pair of roof planes to do the cuts.

One roof cuts with upward extrusion, the other with downward extrusion.

see illustration.

I would like to take the opportunity to advise you of a simpler (but more espensive) object I created . 'Sculptwall-slope' available on Objects Online. It functions like a window but shapes the profile of the wall instead of cutting windows. Other similar objects step/groove/taper the wall.

All the best.

OK Dwight,

That was a good first trick......now for your next performance, can you put any and all windows in that tilted wall.

......drum roll please!

I don't know about all windows - in fact, to answer the original tilt wall question, I experimented - to my joy it works. Since I am doing a theatre in Denmark right now, I am using this feature to make tilted stone walls - with windoz, it was a great discovery.

At any rate, you want to be careful about controlling the depth of the frames.

regarding windows in the roof type wall, I thought at first you might be able to turn a window into a roof light (open the window and save with roof light subtype) you could put a window in the sloping wall (nee roof) but it didnt work. I am sure with some appropriate rotations it could work. Maybe someone with some experience of scripting roof lights might be able to help

What is the problem with velux or other roof windows?
I do not use them because it rains so much here.

Dwight keep a snorkel handy

Back OT
- there is not a problem with the roof window- I just thought a standard window should easily be converted to roof window.

Yeah.

And walls and slabs and objects of all kinds should rotate and tilt.

Just like that. Built in. Like ArchiForma does.

And don't give me any of that "you can do that in GDL" craptalk, either.

Imagine.

Wishlist, anyone?
