Įxtracting the profiles was not complicated science one profile for the aluminium part (get the pen(cil) tool, click click click click, group), one for the rubber insulation, one for the spacer and two grouped profiles for the window panes.
the details were drawn in millimetres, but knowing about the autocad sketchup precision issues it was safer to assume at import that 1 unit in the DWG equals 1 unit in sketchup. In sketchup i usually work in units with a 0,001 precision. The modelling consisted from three parts - extracting profiles from imported details, extruding the profiles along a rectangular path and cutting the model into 9 parts (4 corners + 4 sides + 1 middle part, although the middle was only by the glass panes). I had the DWG and PDF catalogues of some of the Reynaers aluminium windows, so i started with the CS-68 Hidden Vent model. After finishing the summer semester i’ve had some time to fill up my sketchup model repository and so the first thing i decided to make were dynamic windows.
