splayed / angled window openings

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:06:33 GMT

Does anyone have a good method for creating splayed window openings?
I know there is a splayed reveal object but with no window. I have tried placing the window I need inside of the opening but the display is messy and needs 2d patching. Any better ideas?

Thanks, Matt

Matt,
Do you mean that you have to mask the edges of the opening
when you use the splay niche opening and if you have a hatch pattern
cut fill in your wall you have to put a fill between the outside
edge of the casing and the outside of the frame of the window
you are placing in the opening ?

Matt,

If you mean a window with a splayed opening to the outside there was a discussion of this within the past year about just that for a window in a stone wall. It involved a splayed window and some SEO operations on the outside if I recall correctly. A search may pull it up.

Thanks Peter,

That was the topic I was thinking of, I just did not have time to find it just then.

The below is quoted from the referenced post. Is that he best way to do it? Crazy that we don't have chamfered openings also!

eah, that double chamfer looks like a bear to do.

You guys are lucky at least to have the single side chamfer. The US library only has an empty opening which has to be added to and aligned with an actual window.

Aside from making custom windows or working with SEOs and patches, the only fairly simple way to do it is to put two walls back to back and align the window in one with an empty, chamfered opening in the other.

One way to do this with the only
splay reveal we have is the following.
Draw the thick wall, and insert the
w splayed reveal 10 opening into the wall.
Set the splay angles, opening dimension,
and frame depth you want. Draw another wall
that is set to the thickness of the frame depth
set in the splay reveal parameters,
is as high as the opening, and base elevation
set to the height of the sill of the opening.
Disable both wall ends and draw this wall
in the opening and bring it forward one step.
Now stretch both ends of this wall slightly
so that it's ends just mask the opening's contour lines.
Insert an ordinary window into the thin wall.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I've downloaded the Int. library, extracted it and pulled out the windows I need. However, I was getting missing macro errors so I copied the scripts it looked like I needed into my newly created window library and the window works fine....but I get duplicate library parts warning now. I have deleted all of the macros that seem unrelated and that has reduced the number of duplicates. Would I need to rename every macro, UI image, etc. to have no duplicates? Does it ever matter if I have duplicates - can I just leave it alone and use it?

Thanks, Matt

Below is an image of the international window - the splayed edge at he bottom of the image is the actual window, the splay at the top has been patched to show where I would like the splay to come from. The international window settings (as shown on the bottom) only allow the splay to come from the center of the glazing, in the case an outswing casement. The top illustrates where I would like the splay to start - at the inside edge of the window frame. Does anyone know if it is reasonably easy to modify the window script to change the origin point of the splay? Any other ideas?

Thanks, Matt

This might take a few extra steps or the addition of an additional window opening.
Look in the GDL Reference for WALLHOLE.

This command cuts wall openings [duh] can be angled and offset to achieve any kind of splay.
