Window LintelGood morning,
I am looking for a way to integrate a window lintel ( <-- translated from French « Linteau » or German „Fenstersturz“) into a wall. As there appear to be 0 appearances of this topic in the forum, it may be necessary to explain, what a lintel is...
In old stone constructions, here in Europe, a stabilizing element is needed above the window- and door-openings. Granite was used most often and used to contrast beautifully with the locally predominant stone-types or bricks. Poorer people or those who do not build for eternity, like me, use whatever they find.., steel bars and tons of ciment... or heavy oak beams.
I have a beautiful oak beam in my design (and also laying around somewhere in the stone-heap, that I am renovating). But how do I integrate that in a wall... Someone designs windows and doors. So it should be possible to do similarly with my “window lintelâ€.
Thanks for not discouraging me... I am on the verge of reinstalling Sketchup... Please... do something.
