    Default how to make curved window with curved arch trim in curved wall

    I am having difficulties creating a curved arch trim with keystone in a curved wall. I am attaching a picture of the window and also the generic model I started.
    can anyone help me?
    thanks,

    Could be a fun problem but before I tackle this (in all my spare time), I have some questions. These are in no particular order.
    • Do you care if any of this flexes?
    • Do you care if the keystone cuts the wall or can you live with it stuck on the front and visually correct?
    • Is there a reason you made this as a generic model instead of a window?
    • Is the glass and frame actually curved or is it really straight and segmented?
    • What is the (approximate) thickness of the hosting wall and what is the (approximate) radius?
    • What is the sill height and the overall arch height?

    Finally, if I can make this work more easily as a Curtain Wall, do you care?

    No promises but I will give it a try.

    Just searching through past threads as I have come across the same problem as described here.

    Has there been any update on this thread?

    Have not gotten responses to my questions but if you know what you want to make and can give me a little detail, the offer stands that I will give it a try. Just do not do much residential work and would be guessing about how these windows work...
