i have a long run of storefront that is curved, but not a true curve. the window panels are actually placed at shallow angles so small that they appear to be a curved unit. my question is i need to make a window elevation and dim and note but the elevation shows the storefront as it would look if you see it. which is fine. but how can i do the elevation to show the real size of the windows, ie "flatten it" so to speak, so they can be correctly sized? any ideas or suggestions would be great. i know i cant tbe the first one to come accross this matter.

thanks for any help

Whenever I had this situation, on my window sheet, I included a plan view that only showed the storefront.  Then I used dimensions that where center to center of the mullion glass intersection.  Typicall I had an arc centerline at that point and I used a chord dimension.
