Okay, hopefully this will be my last newbie question.

In the attached images you can see I have a bank of windows on this wall. Right now it is rectangular. I would like to have the windows follow the pitch of the wall. I'm not seeing how this is possible with current opening options.

Use trapezoid window under specialty windows.

The downside of trapezoids is that you can't divide them. You have to create a custom window. You can easily (once you get the hang of it) create any windows that you want by drawing what you want, and then creating them as an elevation opening and then an opening.

Thank you much for the help. I was able to size the individual trapezoid windows in 3D viewing mode and that worked fine.

Now if I can just figure out how to keep my highlights from blowing out in Ray Trace mode?

Experiment with "diffuse" and "specular"
