How can I create such corner windows?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:20:38 GMT

I found this picture somewhere on this forum (can't trace back where exactly), and it shows an exactly same type of corner windows I'm trying to implement...
Any suggestions what object/parameters should I set/use in order to achieve this type of frames (frameless design)? I've been fighting with pre-set windows which feature really ugly fat brown frames which I was able to get rid of, but still nothing similar to this.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

I recently made a glass stairwell, unfortunately I could find a window object which suited my needs, (all butt glazed frameless windows). The curtain wall feature did not have what I wanted either. So I made it will the wall tool. I made a new layer for the glass panels, and set the wall tool to 1/4" thk, then I made the panels, keeping them separated them by 1/64" so the elevation would show the individual glass panels. for the connections, I modeled one as saved it as a gdl object, then added the new object to all the panel joints.

It sounds like a lot more work than it actually was.
