Modifying trapezoid window

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I am sorry if this topic was solved before, but if anyone can suggest me how to modify trapezoid window (or any other way - though I've tried to make custom window by saving a selection as window and then the hole in the wall still becomes rectangular) to this shape as in attached picture.

Thanks in advance,
V

The custom window method will work, but you need to add a Slab with the ID of "Wallhole" that will define the hole in the Wall (rather than being rectangular). In the Help files see: Elements of the Virtual Building > Parametric Objects > Graphic Creation of Custom Library Parts and Components > Saving Custom-Shape Doors or Windows.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

You can drag this from the website from the downladbutton direct into Your Archcad-window to download it.

I read this once... and forgot about it. almost removes the need for parametric options... almost. but bravo used it to make pool water a skylight so the client can swim in bimx
