double cut out for windows

[flavio57]

Hello everybody,

I want to insert a window on a thick wall with two different cuts on the inside of the wall and on the outside.
suppose the windows are 100x140 cm wide, on the outside I want the opening with the same dimensions. instead on the inside of the wall I want a larger opening with an offset of xx cm all around, I want to indicate the depth of this large opening

I managed to obtain the desired aesthetic result by creating two walls adhering to each other and inserting the window in the external wall and an opening without window in the internal wall but the solution is certainly not practical and has the defect that if I open the window it generates a unexpected cutout in the interior wall

any suggestion ? is this the object of a new feature ?

thank you in advance
Flavio

The only way I know of is by manually changing the cut-out. This can be done by importing your window in a furniture library using the
Furniture Library Editor. Using that editor you can modify the cut-out which is defined by a SVG path.

This Guide for SVG Path cut-outs by OKH is very helpful to get to understand how to do that. It should be possible to have multiple cut-outs before the closing "z" in the SVG path definition but you might have to read a few other sources about SVG paths.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for:

- wall 100 cm thick
- insert windows 50 cm thick, using arrow keys
- import triangle as door/window
- triangle dimensions 50 cm wide, 50 cm thick
- insert triangle using arrow keys
- windows can be moved without windows changing thickness

thanks a lot for the tip.
it works almost perfectly for my needs. I tried to insert a window and a service hatch. the result is almost perfect: the simultaneous presence of the window and the service hatch causes a graphic defect, a small rectangular hatch above the service hatch. individually the window and the service hatch cut the wall correctly, if coupled they show the defect
rendering the 3d view the defect still remains
see example

any suggestions ?

thank you

Hi everyone,

I use these values for the window (width=100, Depth=25, Height=140, elevation 87) and for the hatch(Width=120, Depth=25, Height=150, elevation 87). the wall is 50 cm thick.

this way it works for my needs, see below.

thank to all for the support
