Custom window with arched lintel

Anonymous

Hi!,

I need to make a custom window, similar to the one in old factories.
They usually had arched lintels.

The problem is that when I put my window in the wall (previously saved as gsm window) , the hole in the wall is rectangular and lintel is straight, not arched..

What should I do so that it looked properly..?


thanks

Add a slab in the shape of the hole you want to your window before saving it out as a .gsm. Give the slab the element ID of "wallhole" then you will get the hole you expect.
