    anyone know how to draw a bay window, without using arc?

    atm im pulling the arc up, like you would a rectangle - but when this is done i cant pull/push anything within the arc area (ie window frame)

    A bay window with an arc?? Weird, most here in the states are andgled not curved. You obviously have not closed the face or it is interacting with other faces. Copy your bay window and insert into another area of the drawing and make no other lines are touching it. See if you can clean it up and make it push/pull them. if so make a group out of it and move it back into your main model. let us know how you coma along.
    Cheers

    cheer for the reply, yeah an arched bay window (curves out)

    the problem i have found is, that you cannot push pull out if you have pulled the arc up (hard to word)

    i will get a screenshot tomorrow, and post what i mean.
