How can I make a twisted window?
-
Hi Marco and welcome to SCF!
The file itself would be better. I cannot really see what's going on in that far end of the image...
-
option 1
build the window square... and true... then use Fredo's scaling tools to twist it.option 2
use curviloft to build one window and copy along the path. -
Kris, he says he is completely new to SU. We cannot bombard him with complex plugins on the first day - and also he should first learn how to do it with native tools!
-
ahh sorry... native tools... mmm that will be hard.

Hi Marco,
For presentation purposes attached file may explain how to do this with native SU.
To narrow down inaccuracy to ~0mm you may need to repeat the few steps on top geometry before smoothing edges.
Toggle 'Hidden Geometry' on/off in last scene to see which smooth edges I mean.So in short: make correct top selection > rotare and scale (rotate and scale) > final correcton at pole > smooth.

No prob, Kris (and he was not asking for native tools only) it's just the learning curve, you know.
Wodan; I really wonder how you could get any relevant info from that skewed image!

You can do it several other ways too
