Bcavender Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I am experimenting with trying to place a pair 8" x 8" glass blocks in place of a single CMU in a wall. After a day of experimenting, I am missing a way to make anything that comes close to glass to mortar realistic. I have been attempting to do this with the Build Window. But can't get rid of the frame or control moving the glass in/out in the wall. This must be the wrong approach. I am missing some technique. Can anyone offer a different approach to this? Or possibly just a way to bit map over the CMU on the wall? Appreciate any comments! Best regards, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was done in Chief, and not sure Pro could duplicate it. Notice the red wall behind at the top, and how you see it through the glass blocks. The CMU wall looks the same, front and back.

TomGriff Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 It does work quite well in Pro, although it is only a surface treatment. You can't see through the wall. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcavender Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Solver, Very nice! That is exactly the effect I am looking for. Can you elaborate on the procedure? Best regards, Bruce PS: Thanks for the three links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Pass-through in wall. Turn off all components. Soffit to fill hole. Glass Block from library on the soffit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcavender Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Solver, It was easy after doing it one time. Good start for the spring house. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD ADVICE!!! Encouraging ... Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creatrix Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) "Solver" or "Bcavender" Way down the line in 2023 but attempting to follow this and not being successful. Here is my CA 3D viewer file and not sure this will work: https://3d-viewer.chiefarchitect.com/go?share=145201481276902. I am not sure when using the soffit tool how to apply it to the Pass-thru? And then have the glass block show in my elevation? Always appreciate the help!
