under '3d representation' change the resolution to 4 for the half round louver

I spoke too soon......I can't adjust the angle of the vent (It's fixed at 45 deg) I need to match a 5:12 roof pitch.

....so back to my original query.... anyone know where to obtain an adjustable trianglular gable vent.

(Maybe I should bag the 3D and do a 2D patch on the elevations?)

"I need to match a 5:12 roof pitch"

ah..

the 'w pentagon fix' in 'special windows' will give you something very close to what you want

just make the 'shoulder height' as small as possible (unfortunately you can't make it zero) and put in lots of horizontal mullions
