Hi
I want to create a triangle shape window in equest..
if i try to create a new window to link to my existing component, it can
only be with 4 vertices( rectangle or square)
if i create a diff polygon.. i cannot assign a glass materail to it.. it
only excepts exterior material finishes which are available in equest..
can anyone tell how to assign a window material to a new polygon in detailed
design mode or any other way to go about it
thanks

>From what I understand, windows cannot be assigned to a polygon. They are only rectangles.

Create a rectangular window which is equal to the area of the triangle.

I agree. Windows can only be rectangular. Unless you re preforming daylighting
calculations, the area of glass, and the area of frame are all that matter. So
you can make a rectangular window that has the equivalent glass and frame area
as your triangular window.
