Gothic window

Are you forgetting to use the alt key with the move tool!?

Seems Gaieus has made a complete tutorial about this sort of piece of architecture!

The Alt key is probably fine for this simple application... Sometimes the results are not good so I assumed that is why they failed, but looks like it works OK here.

Yep it can be odd sometimes.
I think the trick here is not to have any lines connecting the two shapes. Putting a line at the apex will deform the faces. -

Maybe it's this one
Refound it! (scroll the page) -
Well, those were only the initial steps - not included the splayed embrasure (thanks for the term, Peter).
Actually I am planning to post a whole series of tuts for these antique pieces so in time, there may be more of them (and more elaborate than that thing showing only the pointed arch)

hi all,
i'm trying to make a drawing of one of our exhibition spaces and it contains a gothic window. I can't get it right, there are showing all kinds of lines i don't want as you can see on the attachment. Left is how i start, right after using the move tool pushing the middle to the back.
How can i solve this problem?best regards, hhenk
hhenk I drew up your gothic window plan, and had no problem pushing the center back
try usingthe push/pull tool instead of the move tool

It seems to me that some of the solutions offered aren't anywhere close to what the OP is after. TIG's approach of using a profile and Follow Me is easy and would get the job done.
