Ede,
I has been four days and and no replies to your post.
Apparently no one can think of a way to
autoscript a curved window into a curved wall.
I know I can't exept to use GDL which isn't autoscripting.

The only thing I can suggest is to keep just the
the hole cut in the wall by deleting everything in the
3D script except the "add" commands and the
"WALLHOLE" command and build your window
in Archicad with walls and roofs.

I know, it's not so simple to make a window to fit in a curved wall, I tried to understand the procedure from the examples I find in the GDL reference manual but whiteout any success and I hoped somebody could help me on the forum.
Anyway thank's for your help I will try it as you said.

Best regards,
Ede Abos

As far as I know you have to script the curve to suit the curve of the wall - not easy. Sorry.

[Anonymous]

in every window setting, model section have straigh line and curve line. Since your wall is curve, you can just click curve line. I hope this help

You will probably have to use the BPRISM_ command for the Window. Do not use the WALLHOLE command as the cutting polygon of WALLHOLE cannot be bent in space as BPRISM_ can. Instead, use another BPRISM_ for the wall piece between the polygon of the Window and the enclosing rectangle of the Window.
That's the closest I can imagine, but it sure is not simple.

Thanks for your advices, it wasn't easy but I did it, it's not perfect yet but it can be improved.
Special thanks for Laszlo's advice which was a good start point.
The hardest was to create the arched top of the window, I didn't used
poly arcs before.
Here is what I realised following the GDL reference manual and
David N-Cole's manual called "GDL for beginners":
