Non rectangular windows

Hello,

My house has quadrangle but non-rectangular windows (i.e. the tops slant.) It'd be great if there was a similar control to the one on walls so that I could slant them. Any workaround that enables this?

Thanks

There's no function in SH3D to make odd-shaped windows. Try to find it in the Sketchup Warehouse, or make it yourself using Blender or Art of Illusion.
Once you have the window, combine it with two upside-down triangles, so that it forms a rectangle. This is necessary because SH3D can calculate only rectangular shapes when inserting objects in walls. Export as OBJ, and import your model, making sure to chack the ckeckbox that says Door/Window.
