Anyone know how to do a glass block interior partition/wall, like in bath area or around shower area?
One way is to use a single layer wall and assign a glass block material to it.
I have tried many time to get the glass wall to look good. As Louis was saying you can creat a special wall and designate it as a glass block wall or you can create a wall an spray it both sides and set the material transparency to fit your desire.
Post what you come up with.

How well would a railing work??
is it possible in CA10 to make a window opening filled with glass block on an exterior wall?
Oh yes it is. Window fixed, change glass to glass block.
Re glass block window in exterior wall:
Louis,
It is Embarrassing to have to ask this, but how dow you then show that "glass" (block) material in vector view? and make the block thickness show up in plan view?
I just figured a way around this; drag a Soffit (or polyline solid) of the right shape into the opening and assign the block material to it.
My first question remains, though.

Good idea on the ploy.Just tried it with a doorway on the out side,used a poly for the fill.That makes it thickness it plan..
When I take a vector view it shows blocks..
Not sure what problem you are having..
Allen,
As I see it window glass is ignored in vector views. this means that you will see through the window, and patterned materials assigned to the window glass (such as "glass block")will not show up. Unless, of course I am missing a simple setting somewhere.
Someone please tell me if I am
TIA

Do you want to see through the glass in vector view?
I think that view is more for sending to print rather than seeing the house in a render view.
But will think about it,might be a way..
Couldn't get that to work but made the inside of a window with cad lines converted to moldings..:)
Allen.
I use vector views a lot to present initial concepts, as I find the line drawing clear and simple. The reason I want to see the glass is that when we use frosted glass or leadlighting. I would like it to show up, and I do NOT want to see through frosted glass in renders.
Peter
I think I understand now..Sorry no help,but will think on it...
I did as Louis suggested - used a fixed glass window and assigned the glass as glass block and changed the sash depth to 3.5" - from a render camer view you can see that you cannot see through the glass block.Attachment 5887
I doubt the quality of the image will be any good but it worked.
Curtis,
Please check to see what happens when you look from the INSIDE which is where I take most of my camera views from.
I am curious to see what result you get
TIA
