Hello.

 

Try finding " Skewed Window 26 " object in the standard ArchiCAD window tool. Should provide the desired result.
If not you should search in google how to create a "custom window archicad". There are plenty of video tutorials on how you can do it.

 

Cheers,

Hi,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

I assume you refering to these types under? (I have Archicad in Norwegian). None of these will give the correct result. The first can not be sized correctly and the secound have vertical frames.

I will check custom windows and see if that will solve the case.

If you do not need the 2D to be 100%... You can easily add some extra transformations if you want to move the pivot point. Basically just add a rotation parameter and a tabIDx one to any window. If you want to get the correct 2D though, you might be able to add some trig to the 2D script to override the B value used and transformations for the window origin.

ps. If you want to be more complicated by flexible, you could mix it with what has been done in this thread.
