French Window - Amulet - 11-21-2006
Here's a French Window that includes the framing that will allow it to be placed inside a rectangular window.

the window looks cool... but (and I'm figuring I'm doing something wrong somewhere) I download the fil into me user object folder... the window appears in the panel of available objects... but when I try to drag is anywhere or use it in a wall... it tells me the object is missing.
any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

More precisely, the user object refers to an object "Exported Objects/French Window" which is missing. You're not doing anything wrong.

OK, new version uploaded, let me know if there is also a problem with this.

It does load now. There's one slightly odd thing: The material "Frame.front" is partly on the front and partly on the back, and the same with "Frame.back".

Do you mean that when you try to alter the colour or texture of the framing object, top left front and top right rear change? If so, this is a result of having to use the 'Ramp' building block, duplicating it and spinning one side 180 degrees before gluing them together to make the arch. Therefore front and back get switched as a result.

Correct.

I thought so. It would be possible to avoid that in a couple of ways. Either spin one ramp 90 degrees about its short axis instead of 180 degrees about the vertical axis, or do a mirror image. Whether changing that would be worth your time is, of course, your choice. I just wanted to mention the possibility.

Mirror Image, of course :-) Amended and duly posted above.
