Hi to all,

Can someone tell me how to make this molding?
Thanks!

I have another 2 questions,

1.-How do I make the object so the picking hotspots are on the inside of the frame so when I place it or dimension it will be around the window or to give it the same measurement as the window I am putting the frame over.

2.- I tried to make my object the cut surfaces (cut fill, cut line pens,etc) as the same as my wall, I tried to input this in the floor plan and section section but it doesn't display it.

see the image.

Thanks again!

For #1
Open the object - File > Libraries > Open Object
Open 2D display Window
Put the Hotspots where you need them
You can also add fills for the cut elements

For #2
The easy way (and I might be wrong since I have not tried it) is to make sure that the custom profile has the same materials as the wall.

Thank you Eduardo,
I opened the object, the 2d window, but I don't know how to place the hotspots, it doesn't allow me to do anything. neither to work on fills, etc.

I'm sorry but I'm new to editing objects, thank you for your help

Casi casi
los hotspots van en la ventana que tienes atrás

How can I change the dimensions settings for my object?
If you look at the picture, my window width is 0.90 mts/, when I opened the object to place it on the plan, I input the measurement of 0.90 width, but it seems that the object's measurements in the parameter's box is related to the exterior points instead of the interior points (where my hotspots are) and is very dificult to give the right measurement to the object, how can I make it so when I give dimensions of the object, it takes the measurements where the hotspots are?
Thanks!

Your saved-from-model object is NOT 'smart' and thus you should not stretch it or adjust the dimensions. (How to do that with the inside dims anyway is a bit involved.)

If you stretch your object, it will distort. Thus, with the method used for creating it, you must create the molding the correct size in the first place, and make a separate molding for every window that has a different size. Each is a "one off".

Creating a smart/stretchy object is another story altogether...

Thanks Karl, that sounds complicated, is it?
Any ideas how to begin creating a smart object? I use this window frame very often in my designs and will be great if I can create one that will be "parametric" and use it in diferent sizes.
I thought that creating an object as I did, this could be placed in with diferent sizes, but I guess not..
I appreciatte your comments,
Thanks!
