Re: Window opening directions

This is a useful method if you want to use windows to make a conservatory but without all of the window openings.

If you are creating your own custom conservatory I wouldn't use windows. Just create glass walls using boxes and glass. Your model will be smaller and without the unneeded opening displays.

To create glass use a box the size of the glass you need. Export the box and name it "Glass.obj". Edit the Glass.obj and Glass.mtl files like this:

Edit the Glass.obj file and replace "usemtl bottom", "usemtl top", "usemtl left", "usemtl right", "usemtl back", and "usemtl front" with "usemtl Glass". This should result in having 6 times "usemtl Glass" in the Glass.obj file.
Save the file.

Edit the Glass.mtl file and remove everything under the top comment lines (#), then insert this block of code:

newmtl Glass
illum 2
Ka 0.0 0.0 0.0
Kd 0.009412 0.009412 0.009412
Ks 0.039062 0.039062 0.039062
Ns 1.960784
Ni 1.45
d 0.5

Save the file.

Import the Glass.obj file and you have a Glass object that you can resize to any format. You can still change the color of the glass.

You can use this same glass object for any other furniture you create that needs glass. You now also know how to change a property in existing furniture to glass.
