Make an elipticle window?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:45:00 GMT

Is there anywhere to get an elipticle window? I made a barrel roof and I need to fit a window under it that matches all the way around. The barrel is only about 2/3 of half a barrlew so if you put a half round window in the top it matches at the top and the the margin starts getting bigger as you go around.

Thanks,

Arch

Are you sure you want an elliptical window? If your barrel vault is a circular arc and you want the window top concentric, then it will also need to be circular.

Unfortunately the round top and half round windows won't let you flatten the arc. If you have any third party libraries look in them to see if they can do it. Otherwise I recommend drawing the window you want with slabs and saving them as a library part.

I seem to remember that the 6.5 or 7 windows could be squashed; will have to verify?

I endorse making a custom window by modeling and saving as a window type object.

However my Fastwindow3 (ObjectsOnline.com) will also do this because you can specify the height of the arch.

The experienced ones here please correct me but isn't the "W Eyebrows Fix" in the Wood Plastic Windows 81 in Windows Classic 81 folder an elliptical?.. And I also wonder if an ellipical is necessary in a constant radius barrel.. seems a simple large radius should suffice..
