Hi list,

complete Apprentice newbie here.

I want to model a facade with many arched window openings. What is the best ‘Houdini’ way to do this procedurally?

I was thinking of building the windows as solid objects and use the cookie sop to cut them out of the facade. Is there a better way?

Thanks for your help!

That is one way. If your exterior wall has a thickness to it, then cookie is the best way to do it.

If you just have a single set of faces representing the exterior (no thickness to start off with), you can use the Hole SOP. See the attached file.

Thanks, Jeff. I will look at these examples.
