Corner window assemblies

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone had worked out how to creat a window that wraps around a corner using architecture 2010?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean butt join glass? siliconed?
Using DWA, CWA or common windows?

Butt joint would be useful but really with a corner mullion.

I just can't seem to work it out.

Thanks

Depends what you are using? If DWA's just select one and right click option
is for mitre.

I tried this http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=3020887&linkID=9240658 but not very successfully (mine is a metric install - may work in US Imperial version). If it works for you let us know.

Must be high on the wish list and for a long time. Its not very satisfactory having to work in window assembly styles (too complicated) rather than i-drop a window style.

Thanks for that, I found it as well but couldn't make head nor tail of it.

The other way I have tried is just butting up 2 windows at right angles and then manually adding lines in plan view. Turn off sill (or cill ) which wont intersect properly and manually add lines so that it looks as if it cleans up. In model view not a problem as the opening cuts OK - if only windows would mitre. Bit of a botch - I tend to cut and paste the whole assembly between jobs.

If you are looking for window object solutions, I posted a metric version in
a file in customer files. 23/9/08
I used masselements to model 2 corner windows and use ME's added subtractive
body modifiers to remove the brickwork.
Certainly not an automated solution but it works. I wanted a WO solution
rather than DWA.
DWA's also require some dedicated tutorialling to get their mystic science
but they can be powerful once you get it.

Block attached of half a bay using the botching method - wall object below cut line may need fiddling (edit object display) a bit to make sure it plots OK. I do multiple casements by overlapping the frame component - not found a better way and easier to manipulate than finding an out of the box double or triple.
