Gothic Arch Window

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

I hope this is an easy question... how do you go about making a gothic arch window?

I have seen the post regarding medieval openings which answered most of my question regarding the splayed opening. However it did not cover a pointed arched window?

There are also a couple of details on the window - image attached and details circled. Is the best/easiest way to mold them using the OBJECTIVE add-on from Encina?

Thanks,
Malte

If you have not please use the above link.
It is even possible to use SEO to carve shapes out of
AC tool elements to get the shapes you want.

And for the Stone "frame" surrounding the Window: you can use Profiled Walls to draw them, then save as objects and rotate them from horizontal to vertical in the script.
