windows in complex profile wall

[Anonymous]

Aloha,
I am creating bowed or arched wall based on a complex profile that I've created.
I'm having two problems with the bowed wall. The windows placed in the wall do not match the arch of the wall (see image below). The other problem is where the arched wall intersects another wall.
Please let me know if there are ways to get the windows to lay flat in an arched wall like this and if there is a way for complex profile walls like this to intersect cleanly with straight walls.

Hi John,

Try activating the opening reference lines and adjust them to match the shape of the wall (in the profile settings). Make sure the opening plane of the windows is associated to wall (see the attached images).
About the walls intersection ... do they have the same profile?

Cheers,

Aloha Adrian,
Adjusting the opening reference lines worked to tilt the windows in line with the wall it did not entirely fix the situation as the window trim does not show up on the outside of the wall.

If you want to make the frames follow the curve of the wall, you will have to make a separate custom part, just as the will need to be done when they build it wink:

Aloha Erika,
Thank you for that tip.

Is there any way to get the corners of the wall to resolve properly?
Thank you,
John

I understand that I'll need to make custom parts for the window trim. Is the any way to move the window closer to the exterior surface of the wall?
