Holes with curves in curved surfaces
Hi. I want to make ventricles on a plaster semicircular cornice. As in the photo. Does anyone know how to make such holes in SH3D? So far, I've only got rectangular ones, but I need to do them with rounded ends.

Sorry, can't be done in Sweet Home 3D. I asked the same question two years ago and so far no solution. You will have to use Blender to create this.

Understood. Thanks Keet. I'll try it masterfully))) glue the curved and straight sections of the wall, in a straight line I will make a round hole (or arch). Maybe it will work out.

Re: Holes with curves in curved surfaces
That's a solution I was thinking about . You can use a very small straight wall part with just half cutout of a circle and mirror it for the other side. Fill out with curved wall parts. I tried it and it works pretty well but of course not a perfect curve. I know you could first create it with a straight wall and then bend it in Blender but that's one of the things I haven't figured out yet.

Creating the vent like that is not the problem. The problem is getting rounded holes instead of the square ended holes. I must say that even with square holes it looks very good.
[French] La création de l'évent de cette manière n'est pas le problème. Le problème est d'obtenir des trous arrondis au lieu des trous carrés. Je dois dire que même avec des trous carrés, c'est très bien.

Very clever. Using a smaller filler piece for the roundings. That's another way for GaudiGalopin3324 to achieve what he wants in Sweet Home 3D.

Re: Holes with curves in curved surfaces
I did it like this. I built a wall of five parts, left two short parts straight and carefully bent the other three parts into an arc. Then he pierced it with round and rectangular windows. The main thing here is to turn off the magnet. The round window (purple) fits well into the wall only in one single position - strictly perpendicular. You need to catch this short moment of window movement and release your finger from the mouse. And then the window moves to the right place of the straight wall. The other half of the window in the curved wall cuts a rectangular hole next to it, but it doesn't matter anymore. With two rectangular windows (green), you can add a gap in the curved wall between short straight sections. Then you need to save it to OBJ, rotate it properly, make the windows invisible, and save it back to OBJ. It turns out a section with a slit as in the photo. These sections can be combined into a group of the desired size. And a cornice without cracks is a wall without windows, also a separate model in OBJ. everything is combined into a single composition. Interestingly, when scaling different models of this cornice, for some reason, slightly different sizes are obtained, I fixed everything to single digits manually.
