CJohnStanchina Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Currently trialing HD Pro 2015. Would like to create a rectangular window but with an arched casing like in the attached .png file. Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I thought of several ways, but none worked. Do you have a variety of window sizes? I think you could do this in Sketchup. Place a window, then manually place the trim (made in Sketchup) around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohnStanchina Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks for the thought, Eric. I have three different window sizes on the front elevation of the home, so what you suggest shouldn't be too onerous. Pardon my ignorance, as I am new to HD Pro 2015, but is Sketchup a type of CAD add-on? Thanks for your creativity! CJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 http://www.sketchup.com/ Sketchup is free, and you can model things in Sketchup and import them into Home Designer. There is also 3D Warehouse which is a library of models others have built. If you do a bit of searching you will find info on using Sketchup with Home Designer. I've just been using the program for a few months, so there may be an easier way to do what you need. Maybe someone with more experience will respond.

Kbird1 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 For 3 windows I would just fake it, as I don't think this configuration is possible in HD titles and don't do extreme closeups Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohnStanchina Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for turning me on to Sketchup, Eric. I'll definitely play around with it. Thanks to you as well, Eric for the workaround in HD. Basically, I just need to be able to present a front elevation of the home that embodies our design vision and that passes the HOA's architectural review. So again, many thanks to you both!

GeertDC Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Another way to fake it is to super-impose a flat, stretched out cylinder (from the shapes library) on top of the outside lintel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohnStanchina Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Very cool. Thanks, Geert! CJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Also, place a rounded window (with opaque glass) above the tall window (left pic). Or, use fan trim from the library/ millwork/ Mantels,Capitals,& Sills/ Fan Trim (pic on the right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
