Create A Georgian Bay Window
In PI 6
 

 

Open up a new file 400 x 400
Using the path outline tool with settings of wood, 3D round, border 2, depth 30, width 4, draw a fairly large rectangle. This will formulate the outer frame of your window.

Change the settings to a width of 2 and draw a smaller rectangle with a size of just under a third of the outer window frame and then draw another rectangle just inside that one.

Using the line and arrow tool with a width of 2, draw in a vertical line and 2 horizontal lines to complete the lefthand side window frame. Send the horizontal and vertical lines to the back. Select everything other than the outer window frame and merge as a single object.

Using the transform tool distort the lefthand side window frame by pulling the bottom right side up and in slightly and the top right side down and in to match. Duplicate this lefthand side window frame, rotate and flip horizontally and place on other side to formulate the righthand side window frame.

 

You should now have a window that looks similar to this one.

Using the path outline tool with a width of 2 draw a rectangle between the lef and righthand side frames to make an inner center window and then draw another rectangle just inside that one.

Using the line and arrow tool again with a width of 2, draw 2 vertical lines and two horizontal lines as before to make up the completed center frame.

Select the rectangle path drawing tool, wood, 3D round, border 15, depth 1 and draw a rectangle the width of the top of the window. Distort it using the transform tool to fit within the upper gap and send to the back. Duplicate this piece, rotate and flip vertically and fit this second piece in the lower gap. Again, send this piece to the back.

Voila! Your Georgian bay window should now look something like this one.

All that is left to do is to select all objects to merge as a single object. Add a drop shadow and then find a background and any other thing that would complete your window to your own liking.

Have fun!!!
