Description
The Window is a base object for all kinds of "embeddable" objects, such as windows, doors, etc. It is designed to be either independent, or "hosted" inside another component such as a wall. It has its own geometry (the window frame, for example), and also defines a volume to be subtracted to host objects, in order to create an opening.
So far, you can draw a window on a base profile, such as a closed wire, and specifiy an extrusion thickness. The subtraction volume is calculated automatically.
In the above image, a window is constructed on top of a Draft Rectangle, then inserted into a Wall.
Usage
- Create a closed 2D profile (for example with the Draft Workbench or Sketcher Workbench)
- Press the Arch Window button
- Adjust the thickness value
- Add it to a wall with the Arch Remove tool
