Custom Glass Block Window

Recommended Posts

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,

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.

use fixed glass doors. you can mull them together and they will report to schedule:

Did you create each block separately and then put them together to create a larger window?

yes each "block" is just a fixed door

 

Hmm okay I did the fixed door for each block but it's only allowing me to have a max of 4" thickness. I've attached a photo what I got, but not sure how to make it full wall thickness?

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.

Do they make a 7" thick glass block IRL?

I guess what I'm really trying to do here is get rid of the ledge part. As I want this to be flush on the exterior.

change the swing of the door to exterior swing and will be flush with exterior.
