Customize window

Hi!

 

I'm modelling an existing building, but I'm struggling with this window in particular.

I've tried so many different window types and settings, but I can't get there.

Does anyone know how to model this window?

I've added a picture of the existing window and how far I got.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kind greetings,

 

Demi

Probably not possible with a single window.

But you could try ganging a few windows together.

 

Or a Guillermo1 suggested, try the curtain wall.

 

Or create a custom window from slabs, it is quite easy (search the help file).

Or use library Part Maker to create one, that will give you more control of the 2D symbol.

ah thanks! I think ganging up windows is the easiest and quickest solution for now 🙂

The downside of Ganging is Scheduling, if required...
