Re: Curved window
You can create glass from walls. Since you can create curved walls you can also create curved glass. Draw the curved wall with the correct length and thickness and then export the wall as 'curvedglass.obj'. You can now edit the resulting obj and mtl files with any text editor.

Edit the curvedglass.mtl file by replacing everything with this single block (you can leave the # comment lines at the top if you want):

newmtl Glass
illum 1
Ka 1.0 1.0 1.0
Kd 1.0 1.0 1.0
Ks 0.0 0.0 0.0
Ns 1.0
Ni 1.45
d 0.4

Edit the curvedglass.obj file by replacing every line starting with usemtl with the line usemtl Glass

Import the obj file and you have your self-created glass.
Of course you can use a different name instead of 'curvedglass'.

You can create glass this way with any object you have exported like a floor or a box. Just point the usemtl lines to the 'newmtl Glass' block that you add/replace in the mtl file.
