How to create angled windows

Anonymous · ‎2019-06-06

I am trying to connect this window so that the window joins to the angled window.
I am using the object library to place these windows into the wall. I want the windows to schedule which is why I am trying to do it this way as opposed to modelling a plane of glass and then the frame separately. How can I stretch it to connect?

Thanks!

You will need to either create a custom window for the side windows or you could try searching for and downloading the 'Polygonal Window' object.
I have no idea if that will work but it will allow you to adjust the shape of the window.
Creating your own custom window is fine but the shape is fixed.

Or you could use a curtain wall but that won't schedule like a window.

Or, you could use the Curtain Wall Tool to model the Windows. You can even create a correct corner between the vertical and slanted Curtain Wall instances.
