How do I go about installing mini-blinds on or into a window in my SH3D plan? I have tried several ways (importing blinds as a door/window, resizing, etc). I thought I had the mini-blinds installed correctly at one point, but there are blinds on both sides of the window from just one blind, eek! My wall thickness is 6", same for the window frame (the window, blind will auto re-size to wall thickness regardless), and I tried several ways to re-size the mini blinds to work. 3d Warehouse doesn't have the greatest collection. I was hoping to find a pre-made model, but could not find anything suitable or that I could manipulate.
I thought I could use Sketchup (Make-Free Version) to import an object file and was not able to do that as well. I was hoping to put the window and blind together in Sketchup to no avail. I wish there were an easy to use a program for models where I could put stuff like this together. I could take the plunge and purchase Sketchup, but for $600 (US)its just too much. I also tried art of illusion, but I just don't have the time to learn. I am spoiled as I used to work at a place where they bought CAD (Full Version) and it was heaven. Maybe Sketchup could invent an easy to use 3d modeler that wasn't rocket science to learn and use?
Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just want mini-blinds on my windows.Here are two photo links (each side):
