      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!
      😒

          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.


          twisted windows by rotating and streching top geometry

            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!
            😄

                    I don`t know how but i could reduce the file size. =], Maybe is because the components definitions someone know how to explain how i can reduce the number of components definitions

                    and this is the file:
