Re: Curved window @captaincook I understand very few French words but from the picture I can determine what you proposed as an alternative. True, that works too but... It's very difficult to make it 'real' glass. You can make the wall white (including the top) and use the 3D View transparency but you can't set the refraction factor Ni. The color property name remains "wall_1_1" and if you set the wall sides as shiny instead of matt you get and additional property name "wall_1_5" for the top. When you start creating your own furniture you can't get around manually editing the obj and mtl files unless you create in Blender or something similar. For a newby starting with glass is a simple introduction to setting transparency and how to set a meaningfull property name for color/texture. (hopefully both are added to a future modify furniture dialog.) When you create glass you are most likely creating a window. If you want the window to open and close you still have to edit the obj file to add the deformation strings to the appropriate group names. If you are already a little familiar with editing obj and mtl files that is a lot easier. Descriptions of the process as I gave it are meant to teach new users how to get the most out of Sweethome3D without having to learn complex programs like Blender. (Although I have to use Blender for some actions that simply can't be done in Sweethome3D.) It's good that you reminded us that using the 3D view for transparency is also an option. I think it's mostly used for creating transparent water but looking beyond the obvious is always good! ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
