Custom Corner Window

Anonymous
Not applicable
I just created a custom window and want to use it as a corner window, but it doesn't rebuild on corner (leaves parts of walls). Is there something a noob like me can do about it?
I'm trying to make a corner window without a mullion on corner. If nothing worked I would just use empty corner window and walls/slabs as frame...
Thanks, Lubos

Hello Lubos,
How did you finally work out making your Custom Corner Window ?
The reason I ask is I made two corner windows. One was autoscripted
from AC tool elements (all roofs so I could have the miter at one side).
Dragging two instances one in each wall to the corner worked well.
The other is a parametric window I wrote by basically editing an
existing window I had written years ago. The editing was simply
doing in GDL what Peter Clark did with an SEO on a normal window.
This window worked even better.

I have not used the AC corner window because as far as I can tell
it always leaves a corner post. I am assuming you made your
"Custom Corner Window" to get around this issue. Several people
on this forum have resorted to the "Empty Corner Window and slabs"
method to get around this problem so it seemed worth while to
make a window library part that modeled a corner window without
a corner post.
Thanks,
Peter Devlin

The trick is to do an oversize on the connecting corner.
Empty windows are basically WALLHOLE...

The design is just coming up. See the link below:

As I supposed, there is a mullion on corner. At least I learned something. Thanks one more time.
