How to insert window into roof?

Could anyone give some hints about how to attach window to roof in version3 or record short tutorial about it? I have seen thats possible but when I will move window into roof nothing happens, i cant see any option to change ,host".

Hi @j.rurkowski you need to edit the window style (vaWindowStyles) and select the host valid types:

Hi it works but only for rectangular shapes.

test_roof window.3dm (12.1 MB)
here is example. so in my case the only way is to create a holes first?

Hi @j.rurkowski it should work also with windows with different profile shapes:

I was meaning the rectangular shaped roof. Try to add window to the other roof.
Sorry i didn’t clarify but its cool that the window shape can be customized.

i have found out that the problem is that i have create roof from surface. I use this way of roof creation because intersection behavior of two roofs was really weird (marked as number 1) but as You can see in the picture that roof windows works (with some bug i guess marked as number 2). I had to cut the roof with solids to achieve same shape as in 3dm file. Also i would like to ask what to do to change texture mapping direction (marked as number 3) I have tryied to change roof axis direction but the texture never changes direction. even if i rotate an object.



somehow texture maping works fine for roof made from surface. is that a bug or i can control it somehow?

Hi @j.rurkowski it looks like the windows can’t be inserted in roofs created from surfaces. We will revise this issue and get back to you when we fix it.

Can you send me a 3dm file with this roof intersection?

Use the Texture mapping on the roof to rotate the texture, if it’s not applied as expected in the first moment.

Hi, thank You for reply, here is the file.

Thanks for the file. I’ll report this case to the development team so they can fix it.
