Help with complex wall/window

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:59:55 GMT

Hello everyone, i need some help, can anyone tell me how can i do windows like the ones in the elevation i attached?

And how can i do openings like that ones in the walls?

Is that possible?

I made those with lines on elevation and made the rest on phothoshop, but since its not done in archicad i cant do renders cause i dont have the windows like that.

I thank you in advance for all the help, i hope someone can lead me in the right path on how to do that.

Pretty easy.

For actual windows, which behave as windows, schedule, etc., see this article (and many threads here for 'custom windows'):

and this summary tip linked from there:

For schematic design when things are fluid and you want your shapes to be easily changed just to show an idea, try Dwight's idea here:

Have fun. Post your results. 😉

Cheers,
