Curved curtain wall issue

[Anonymous]

For some reason no matter what I do, the horizontal frames WILL NOT render as their selected material like the rest of the frame. Is this just a glitch in the script or am I missing some setting somewhere? In the materials pane is has everything listed correctly: Glass material is glass, frame material is wood...

It is there in the Aus library.
It is called 'Curtain Wall Curved 11", ie no "W" at the start, so it appears right at the start of the folder (as opposed to the "W Curtain Wall Straight 11", which for some reason has the "W" so it appears right at the end of the folder).

Cheers

If you have Window Metal Curved in the AUS lib, it can look like the curtain wall - albeit with all the frames and mullions there ...

Thanks Djordje.. I did try this - but I am trying to emulate 'frameless glazing' .. I just can't seem to get the effect with the Curved Metal Window.. Thank you though!!

Ah ...

Try reducing the frames to invisible sizes. Or, give them the same material, pen and thickness as the wall.

The last instance is to make a wallhole, and insert a glass wall on a non-intersecting layer.

I will try both - Thank you Djordje!
I will let you know how I go!
Thanks again!
