Hello!
I am modelin one gothic fortress for renovation purposes.
So every opening are as described in topic title.
So how to get that without having window in 3d?
I know how to get it in 2d. I use classic windows and in model view options turn off windows. Is there that option for 3d?
or is there some custom empty opening?

here is the fortress I have to model:

Check this article:

Based on this you can model those Windows out of profiled walls and saved them as Windows. Setting the proper IDs is very important for it to work.

hm, but my profile is changing along the axis (through the depth of the wall).

Is it constantly changing or there are two or more different profiles in it?
Sorry I can't figure it out from the image you attached previously.

here is new illustration. first are the setting of the opening that I need. and which caused the problem shown on previous picture.
below is that opening modeled with shell tool, which is useless since I can't substract it from wall.

Hi mzex,

Could you put it on the web on some other site?
I don't want to install that downloader program just to be able to look at this one image.

You may also try to zip the jpg and attach that to your post.
