Arc'ing or curving a wall with windows start?
-
Hi All, newbie here and looking to create this curve wall with all the windows and accessories as illustrated on the attached file. Any points or starting notes would be most appreciated. Should I try to put all the windows first and then try to arc the wall afterwards? Thanks!!

I'm just guessing that the windows are straight elements in a sometimes curving wall. I'd say model the wall with the appropriate thickness, then cut the windows in.

Thanks!, I'm just not sure to start with an arc line or straight line before trying to add the windows. Just watching as many videos as possible to learn.

Start with a curved wall. If you want to bend things later from a straight wall, although possible, you will have all sorts of issues later.

Thanks Gai! I will continue to monitor this thread in case any more suggestions get posted. Wish me luck, I really want to make this and I am determined!

Here is a very basic tutorial how to insert an arched opening into a curved wall. If you need more details, you can repeat the steps with different sizs of that arch and leave some thickness above and aside.
