Hello !,
Our client is enthusiastic about Curved Window/curved glass (on plan).
been through the library windows and keep getting the straight window, even after curving the walls and son on.

Will much appreciate suggestions/techniques.

Many Thanks,
Cedric

A curved window requires a special library part written for the purpose. I don't know of one myself, but you could check http://www.objectsonline.com

He may not be as enthusiastic once he see's the price tag

Cedric,
You are right. The AC 8.1 library does not appear to have
a curved window.
But AC 6.5 library does. It is in the metal windows folder
and is called W M-curved 65.GSM .
If you still have AC 6.5 then you could duplicate the window library part
and put it in your AC 8.1 library, open it and "save as" to have it update
to AC 8 library format. I havn't looked at the code to be sure but
this should work.
I have still have AC 6.5 and I have done this repeatedly on a Mac.

Cedric,

Its still there.
