How can I create windows the way I want it?

Post by RHUNG »

I just finished drawing the wall of my apartment and wish to add windows to the wall but encountered two problems:

1. When I have the windows opening to the side that I want, the hedges are all on the exterior of the wall. How can I move the hedges to the interior of the wall?

2. I want to create 3 windows side-by-side to each other. I used a double-window + a single-window. But then, a partition appears between the joint of the two windows. How can I remove the partition or how can I create a normal tri-window?

For the first, clic on the window and move lightly to down or up and the window will be change its opening direction (with magnetism option = ON).

for second point, remove 'magnetism' option and after a zoom, move the second window againts the first.

Best way to make bespoke windows
- draw the window frame(s) using thin walls
- scale height of walls to thickness of window frame
- insert glass boxes as windows
- export, import and rotate to vertical

Thank you both for the quick reply!

I'd tried removing "magnetism" and it didn't seem to fix my problem.

Maybe I'll try using thin walls for my window frames on my next project.

Thank you once again!
