Box Bay X4

[Tundara Homes]

I am creating a box bay window by scratch finding the bay window tools useless. I can't figure out how to remove the gaps in the finish. I have attached a model similar to the one I am working on. Any help would be appreciated. You will probably find that the working annotation will be the easiest to work on with most layers used being on.

Charlie,

Have a look at this one. I got it almost perfect, aside from some slight vertical stripes down the inside of the bay. I used a continuous wall across the bay and a pass thru to create the opening into the bay from the main room. I also noticed that the soffit on the roof plane does not want to build flat.

I did this by drawing the box walls, editing the floor height, building the foundation, deleting the foundation walls then (in full overview) grabbing the wall and closing the gap under the bay.
I used a passthru for the opening into the bay.
It leaves a hole in the terrain where the stem walls were deleted.

Thanks for the reminder Rod. I knew I had done it before. We hardly ever use bay windows here on account of the cold weather, as you would know. It's been so long I forgot that little trick.

I was able to clean it up a bit more. If you use a door way instead of a pass through it cleans up the interior lines. Also, remove the auto boxed eave and designate the overhang and it cleans up the soffit.

Have a great day.

matt, create the terrain perimeter on the foundation floor and you won't get the opening in the terrain. It's grabbing the walls on the floor you have the terrain designated to.

Thanks, nice tip.

That's the one. Couldn't figure out why the window kept leaving a line on each wall. And lastly you can place the door on a separate layer if you want, or just leave it and the threshold line denotes the raised bay window.

Copy window - paist on int wall

I put the door on a separate layer and change the layer line to dashed to denote bay. I didn't like the solid line...
