Fit Windows To Roof

[KIT KOLLMEYER]

It's really easy to fit walls to roof, but it would be nice if there was a fit window to roof option. I have this scenario, image attached. And I'm tediously adjusting the rise on the raked window heads until they all fit to the pitched roof. It's not as easy as I would hope. I don't want to use a window wall because they need to show up on the window schedule. If anyone has a trick for this, please let me know!

Agreed, this would be a helpful feature

Please can you make this happen.

In Vectorworks 2023 and later, you can use interactive sizing (with the Selection Tool) to do this with doors and windows.

Thats a nice feature, does it work with a sloped roof? can you pick a corner of the window and drag it the same way?

 

Thank you,

The feature only changes the Width and Height.  So, it does not allow the angle of a sloped top shape to be changed.

To get a sloped top use OIP Top Shape: Sloped, may include transom if needed)

use Rise: (for example for roof pitch 4:12 for 5ft wide opening you need to use 5x4" = 20"

then play with handles just as described in previous messages.

To make perfect fit play with Elevation instead of manual dragging
