I'm writing to ask anyone who can - or want - to help me if could provide me with detailed photos of the window type known as Double Hung Window, so I can build a detailed 3D model. It's very common in American homes, but where I live are practically non-existent, and Google don't help me with as I would (or maybe I do not enter the correct search parameters).
Thanks in any case.
Andersen and Pella are two of the major window vendors, and the appropriate pages in their catalogues are:
http://www.pella.com/windows/double-hung-windows/
or
https://www.andersenwindows.com/windows-and-doors/windows/single-hung-and-double-hung-windows/
There are even CAD files on the Andersen site if you dig around a bit.
By the way, insect screens are typical if not universal on windows, certainly in the North East where I live. These fit on the outside of the window and if you want 100% accuracy, you probably should model these. If nothing else, they do affect light quality - they are a mesh on the outside of the window. The catalogues show these.
Hope this helps. If not, let me know, we have double-hung windows so I could take some photos (but not today - its pouring with rain!)
@not-hunter, No, I'm not in the business, but I replaced some windows so have done the due diligence (I could add that I did the installation myself, but given that I could not get a building permit because I don't have a contractor's license, maybe I should keep quiet ...)
Never heard of double hung. We have double paned..
I hear you Ethiopia. Here in my state they want a permit for me to put up a vinyl top carport. Not happening. And I'm not getting a permit for the wood structure I'm building over the goats house either. HA!. lol (I'm out in the country).A high proportion of our raccoons have rabies, which changes them from naturally aggressive to psychopathic and a guaranteed trip to hospital if you encounter one. But to neatly bring this back to windows and insect screens (well, sort of ...), I would trade raccoons, skunks, bears or moose for our mosquitoes which carry at various times West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encepalopathy.
Thanks you all for your stories, are more interesting than my request, really. I live in Italy, and listening stories from other countries it's always interesting for me. Italy is generally a country known for the high amount of taxes and their cost, corrupt politicians and its collusion with mob and a lot of other terrible things, but read that to replace their own home window needs all those permissions, it's absurd also for someone accustomed to the dirty affairs of this country.
But anyway, @mcmodeler4 thank you very much for the links you left me, they are really useful (although I do not find the section with CAD files).
As for the animals: be kind and pity them. Humans are taking possession of every sphere of nature in this world, but we don't forget that this planet belongs to animals as much as we do, so it is normal that if their habitat is destroyed or plundered of the resources needed to survive, they are increasingly moving in the anthropized areas.
But perhaps this may seem just banal rhetorical.
Zodiac, the CAD files are on a page linked from the page whose URL I sent yesterday, go to https://www.andersenwindows.com/for-professionals/documents/ then scroll down to Architectural tools
Ethiopia, yes, I am in New England (MA). Not far enough North for moose or bears strictly speaking, but bears are moving in and becoming urbanized (even the wildlife ...) I had just typed a much fuller reply worthy of your post but lost it when I clicked on the link to the Andersen Web site and opened their page on top of this. Bugger it, I'm not going to retype it, but I see everything you are describing
