StephenM Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I'm trying to create a custom block window and I am not too sure how to go about achieving this. I've attached an image of exactly what I'm wanting to recreate for a window. Any helpful hints or being pointed to a forum that will help would be appreciated. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like to see legitimate inquiries go ignored. Had a play with this. There are a lot of things going on here. Basically I ended up stacking 3D Solid cubes (set to a glass material) to make the glass blocks. Converted cubes into an Architectural Block and set it into a hole in the wall. Used a 3D Molding Polyline around the opening for the Casing. Hopes this gives you somewhere to start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Thanks for the help. Did you have to do anything to get the lines to show in the blocks to make it look like grout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 use fixed glass doors. you can mull them together and they will report to schedule: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've attached a photo what I got, but not sure how to make it full wall thickness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Looking on how I can adjust the thickness of this? I used a fixed door with glass slab but it's limiting it to a 4" thickness. Would like to have a 7" thickness. T.I.A for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
