Wall trim and quoins

DenisUser

Hey,

 

I was not able to find any good info about how to make quoins on wall or window corners.

Board trim is easy as it is just a solid slab or morph for example.

But what if I want to use different quoins on wall corners like in the picture (picture from Google)?

Is there an easy way for that or what are the tricks anyone uses for this? Quoins are different and sometimes it is good to change them to see how it looks.

The windows may have sill and head options you can use.

Otherwise have a look in the library to see what objects there are for quoins, headers and keystones.

I am sure there are some.

Or if you are using an INT based library;

Thank you all.

What JeffH and Barry posted was what I was looking for.

Weirdly enough I typed quoinS in the object search and did not find anything. In my library, it shows as "Quoin 26" without S. Should have typed a shorter keyword 🙂
