Custom Diagonal Window on a Slanted Wall?

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering if anybody has any way to go around this little issue im having with my custom diagonal window on a slanted wall, works perfect apart from the window squaring off and creating a void in two of the corners.

 

Or if anybody has any suggestions to doing this another way, doesn’t have to be a window used just going for visuals here.

 

See attached images as well.

 

Cheers

When you create the slabs for the window, create another one that is the overall shape and give it an ID of WALLHOLE.

Select that slab with the others when you 'save as' a window object.

This will create the correct shaped wallhole in the script for you rather than the standard rectangular wallhole.
