JKEdmo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Trying to model this triangular gable end wall louver: I've gotten pretty close... But only after too many minutes of tweaking and fussing.... I can't help but think I'm making this difficult and missing some morsel of magic. Is there an easier method to this? Thanks, Jim P.S. Eric Solver had an earlier suggestion to use a Tudor Arch shape with radius set to zero. Gets the overall shape right, but the louver infill does not show.

Solution DBCooper Posted July 28, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 28, 2023 What about using one of the attic gable vents in the core library? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about those. D'oh! I still wonder if using a regular window is realistic or just too much trouble... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assign a clapboard type of siding material and adjust the texture and pattern to get to 1"-2" spacing. If you draw these in a section view with the camera positioned within the eave, you can nicely snap to the soffit lines! Of course, in your example you'd just snap[p to the frieze lines. I'd use something real only if it needed to show up in a close-up 3d view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
