Bay window in walls

Michael Logutov

Hello.

How to draw typical bay window with walls like in attachment? Standard "bay window" (and "bow") type does not "cut" the walls. The closest thing I've come with is to place window openings and then put "bay window" there, but standard "bay window" does not allows to specify reveal (it's disabled). Is there a better way to model this?

Yes, 3 windows in 3 walls.

Then edit the corner options for each window.

One will have a corner connection on the right, one with a corner connection on the left, and the middle window a corner connection on both sides.

I would use 3 separate windows and adjust the corner coupling as required.

You mean put 3 windows and then edit each of them directly like with "edit" feature on stairs objects?

Well, I guess this is the only option for now. Thank you.

If the complete bay window object does not work as you want it to, then go back to basics and build it piece by piece.
