Creating an angled window.

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way to create, using the window tool, a framed window that is set at an angle through the thickness of the wall?

I can't even think what this type of window is called.

I attached two images of what I am trying to make, but with window's instead of the wall tool.




Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe like this:

Have your thick wall with an empty opening in it the same size as your angled window opening. Place a thin wall (the same thickness as your window frame) within the empty opening on the angle, and put a window in this thin wall.

Thank you! I always forget about the empty opening window object. This worked a treat.

Just out of curiosity, do you know what this style of window is called?

No idea, sorry.
