Re: Doors and windows avoid unwanted deformation- my way mini tip I didn't know about that property string! But... it might prevent the door/window from snapping to the wall thickness but if the difference gets too big it leaves a door/window that doesn't fill the gap or expands outside the wall. Ok, it does retain the original dimensions with a well-formed handle and of course it works for all doors and windows. In some cases that might work perfectly well but not by default. I prefer to create doors and windows for a specific wall thickness. I mainly use three different wall sizes so it's easy to simply create the door or window with an inner frame and add an outer frame for each thickness. Perfectly fitting furniture without distorted handles. Besides the sashes I set at least these two: doorOrWindowWallThickness#1=20This is for a wall 20 thick and the wall distance of 1 is because most of my outer frames have an edged border that should remain outside the wall. It's a little more work but you have perfect fitting doors and windows with the exact distance for borders or a sill that should stick outside the wall. If you have bought/downloaded a door or window you can still use the same trick by exporting with the outer frame made invisible and a second export with only the outer frame visible. After import you have the separate door and outer frame where it's easy to either stretch the outer frame or create a custom outer frame for the correct thickness. Combine and export to get a single object again. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
