Custom windows (half triangle)

Denissss — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 12:50:33 GMT

Hey,

Is this type of window creatable only by making a custom window or it can be created with existing library ones?

It is not a difficult shape, but seems there is no option in the existing library? I tried to make it from one square and one triangular window, but it turned out bad especially if I needed to use casing.

Did you use the ganging checkboxes when you tried to combine the rectangle and triangle? ... it's purpose is to combine the frames and casing of adjacent windows/doors.

No, I did not try it.

I did not actually combine them. I just put them next to each other hoping I could do something like that, but it just came out wrong and ugly. I did not know about ganging options yet.

Will try it out when I get back to that project.

Thanks!

If all else fails, get as close as you can using the windows in the library, then convert them into a morph, adjust the morph as needed, and save them as a new window object.
