exactly what the title says; i'm struggling to figure out how to make a two-tile version of some of my favourite ea windows. i've seen it done before by modders like plasticbox (for example: here and here) but i don't see any tutorials on accomplishing this. :c does anyone know how to do this? i basically just want to make it so the window sits in the middle of two tiles instead of on only one tile. i figured i need to edit something in the warehouse, but i'm not sure. :/ the windows i want to edit are the base game double hung windows btw, for reference. |

In the CutoutInfoTable resource change the CutoutTileWidth from 1 to 2 then you will need to edit the cutout itself by following my cutout tutorial HERE |

Hi petaldancing, I think you skipped step 4: "Click the little camera icon next to each mesh part that is NOT the frame or plane so they are greyed out."
This is causing the glass part of your window to get baked along with the frame. Make sure to click the small camera icon next to all the glass parts of the mesh. This will cause Blender to exclude them from the bake. Once the glass is excluded you will see the dark outline of the frame only.

This mesh is actually composed differently. There is an actual plane in the opening which leads me to wonder how early into making the game they made this window. To fix the darkness in the bake just delete that inner plane and re-bake.

When you have the mesh selected go into edit mode, select the faces you want to delete, then hit delete. A pop up will ask what you want to delete in the selected part, select faces.
