simbob Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I am having trouble creating a 3D window like that of an office block, specifically with multiple glass panes. So far i've managed a single pane framed unit, but i need a unit with 3 panes of glass i.e. alu framed, non opening with vertical mullions. The lower section of the wall is solid brick so can't use a curtain wall. There must be a way of doing this - Perhaps there should be a more basic window and door tool as well, for those of us who are not Architects? Quote Link to comment

Because your description sounds like a curtain wall or storefront system. In the Window PIO, there is a Custom window type where you can make what you're describing- a single unit with three fixed panes. Quote Link to comment
simbob Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Technically it's not a curtain wall - just a regular window with solid brickwork underneath (can you do that with the CW tool?). I managed to make something that looked ok by adjusting many, many parameters!) Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Are any of these what you're looking for? All were made with the Curtainwall Tool. I'll look around for the actual .vwx file if anyone wants it... Edited August 14, 2015 by Wes Gardner Quote Link to comment
