      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!
        😒

            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!
              😄
