Canted wall w/ window workaround

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello, I've looked at suggestions made for creating windows in canted walls and I'm having trouble getting the correct results.

Originally, I used a canted wall and found that it's reference wall's windows were only appearing as openings.. So then I copied the reference wall and saved it as a GDL, went into the 3d script and added the cant angle to ROTX. There are two prompts for ROTX, so I tried adding the angle to both. What I end up with is a perpendicular wall w/ a canted window....exactly the opposite problem of what I started out with, and still not right. Any advice for me? I'm new to this GDL stuff... perhaps I'm modifying the wrong line in the script?

Is the upper roof using "Upward extrusion" and the lower one "downward extrusion"?

Marta, why don't you just select the Wall and the two Roofs, save it as a Module, zip it and upload it here so others can try it? Looks like some mysterious phenomenon.
