How to create corner window??

[starling75]

Hi, need to create something like this:

One of the problems is the insertion into two orthogonal walls..

Thanks for advice.

You can't do it directly in VW. You need to stop your walls short of the corner where the window starts and then create two separate Groups for the two portions of windows. Each Group will consist of a manually made hybrid window symbol (grouped so it can't insert into a wall) and two dummy walls for the wall parts above and below the window.

Or use the third party solution Windoor: http://www.ozcad.com.au/otherproducts/vwaddonsWD.html

Ok, thanks a lot.

I hope that solutions like Windoor will be integrated into the next release of the VW....

Instead of dummy walls you can notch out the area of each wall with wall peaks at the corner to the geometry of the window(s), and then place the window group at that area.

I hope we get some more features like Windoor as well.

if you want to make corner windows often, you would be better to buy windoor. it's very powerful. I saved enough time on my first project to pay for it.

Jonathan,

Does windoor give the user capabilities to configure custom door and window combinations with multiple muntin configurations? Thanks.
