Round or Hex windows?

[John Windswept Design]

Is there such a thing? Seems pretty standard and I would like to put one on my model. Please tell me there is some some hex and round windows!

You could plead with Julian Carr to add these options to his wonderful Windoor tools. I keep asking for various odd shaped windows but he obviously will only run with those most requested.

you should add that to the 'wish list' items, as that would be a nice feature. otherwise, use extrudes and create your own funky shapes...

Thanks I will

There is a definate need for round, octagonal, semi circular, triangle windows etc.

From memory older versions of WinDoor allowed the creation of round windows and the like, but obviously there wasn't enough demand for this capability to be continued with.

The different logic would probably not allow for it to be part of the current WinDoor PIO, and therefore it would require a separate PIO anyway.

A challenge for someone to develop one!

Semi-circular (lunette) and triangular windows can easily be built with the standard window object in VW / VWA. Round / octagonal / hexagonal windows cannot.

Excuse me ... but it's really easy to create windows & openings of any shape: just create a 3D poly or nurbs of the desired shape then place 3D loci around the perimeter of the thing. make sure that the Loci are on both faces of the wall thickness. Save as s Symbol ... bingo it pops in & cuts out ... I've created some very realistic historical windows using this simple technique. There's no end to what you can do with it.
