Corner window (about 100 degrees just to make it more fun) with one trapezoid window and one rectangular...I cheated with SEO for this one...How do you do it?


I see two solutions:
SEO-cheat as I did
Make the whole window par as a gdl-object and SEO out the hole. This would allow for any shape I would lika but it's not a "window" anymore.
Cheers,
Mats

I normaly use an empty cornerwindow to get a nice corner in wall. After that I put normal window in same place where I put my cornerwindow.
And in corner of window I put a small column with a layer that doesn't have same ?integration? number like the walls layer.

How does your 2d view look on your model?

It works for trap... windows too, I have done this longtime ago. ArchiCads doesn't handle cornersituation as good as anyone hope.

I am NOT a cheater, I only make some workarounds...
