winterdd Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Anyone know how to arch the bottom of windows as as shown below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 That might require a variation on one of @yusuf-333 's tricks. Bend it with a very thick wall that has the appropriate radius and a reduced Facet Angle. Create a symbol of the window and place it in the wall rotated at 90 degrees. Recreate the symbol and rotate it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Something like this when you are done with a few experiments along the way.... Your final symbol may be best to not be a window and just use the " Inserts into Wall " option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Rob, that was fun but I don't think it will work for you since I am not sure there is a way to keep the sides vertical. You may need to build from scratch with moldings and solids.

I say just leave it an arched window at the top and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not and it is just fixed with grills then I think you could take a stock window with a slanted top and bottom and rotate it 90° then bend it. Unfortunately I think you would need to bend a straight one first and measure the distortion to determine the initial slant you would need to start with. Can you tell I like the original screenshot ?

I actually ended up leaving the window alone, too much work for a window that will probably never be bought. It is fixed and I think the owner is good with the simple design I went with.
