Tiny Question (Glass Window w/ round hole)

#1 · September 14, 2011, 1:41 pm

Hey guys,

Tiny question - anyone know if there's a prop_static for the window with the little hole in it (the kind you can shoot a portal through, but can't go through yourself)? Can't find it anywhere!

Look in the model browser with the filter "frame".

List of Maps, Models, Textures, Instances.

Ah - I have the frame for a window and the frame for a hole?

So I have to carefully cut a near-circle in the glass myself, and cover its edges with the hole frame?

Yes. Clipping an octagonal hole should do the trick.

Sigh ... I think using instances has made me lazy!

I saw some glasses with holes which were not clipped
it was a perfect circle and there was a small piece of the metal around the hole
It was very clean.

That's how it comes out - the circular hole frame covers up the clipping edges really nicely.

That's what I was talking about.
