Double Trimming Windows

Anonymous

It it possible to trim both the top and bottom of a window to sloped roofs above and below? I can make it work for walls but when I try to do this to a window, the window is deleted, even when I select the roof and the window together.

Attached is a view where windows are trimmed top and bottom without deleting the window - using two "Trim to roof" commands where a roof was above and below the window line. It is possible that this command CAN destroy a window object.

I am a bit confused by your query because in Archicad windows are always associated with walls and can be included or excluded from the trim action.

If you have a special situation, perhaps you could consider the Solid Element Operation instead.

If your roof trims are oblique and you are trying to create a window with an irregular shape, consider, instead of trimming, a selection from the library: W Slanted Fix 10

Thanks for the tips. W Slanted Fix 10 did the trick.
