cutting empty window holes...

Post by macfrog »

Hello,

for exporting an empty room with walls, i would like to disable the windows/doors (later i group those windows together for separate export).
but, as you know, when doing so the holes from those windows are no longer existing (i assume they are cutted out right before rendering/exporting).

i now go for a simple obj to cut out rectangular wall openings, which works pretty well [:D] , but not with round walls and not when using a round shape...

test below

is there a trick to use round cut outs?

macfrog,

Of course there is a solution.
1 - Download this arch from the 3D models section.
2 - Import it twice: first time normal, second time rotate it until upside-down. Both times make sure to check the box Door/Window.
3 - Insert both arches in your design, give them the same coordinates, then give the upper one the correct elevation, and group them.
4 - Resize the grouped arches to the correct size and elevation, then insert them in your wall.

Thanx Emmanuel, Hans,

the arch seems to work for the round holes :)
