Tine Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have drawn a building with round walls. When I insert normal ( straight) windows the opening is not completely through the wall. How can I solve this? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Select the window and look at what type of object it says it is in the Object Info Palette. If it says Window then the window was not actually inserted into the wall. It should be Window in Wall. If it is a Window, drag it out of the wall and then back in. Make sure that the tip of the cursor is within the boundaries of the wall when you release the mouse or it will not insert and become a Window in Wall. Quote Link to comment
Diego - Resuelvector Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 For a round window, you will need to create a 2D/3D symbol, Vectorworks will no bend a window to adapt to the round wall. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tine Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I dont want to bent the window. I want it to make a n opening in all the thickness of the round wall Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Tine, the only way you can do this is by crating your own hybrid symbols. If you can say what version you are on I can post a file with an example in a curved wall. Quote Link to comment

mike m oz Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Having to create a hybrid symbol to do this is time consuming and hopefully this will be remedied in the near future. STEP 1. Create your own 3D geometry. STEP 2. Create your own 2D geometry. STEP 3. Create 2D wall patches at each end. STEP 4. Work out your insertion point so the symbol inserts in the wall at the correct location and orientation (the not fun part and you will probably need to do it by trial and error). STEP 4. Select all the 2D and 3D and create a symbol from it using the insertion point. STEP 5. Create a custom Wall Hole Component so you can get the 3D hole in the wall correct.
