Arrow slits in wall
Any suggestions as to how to make arrow slits in a wall?'
Tried to "fool around" with this for a few days, but no luck.....

Another pack to buy?
Seek Parts 3 and 4 without CA46 (though I recommend reading parts 1-2 especially if you're new to CC3 as most of the info there is not CA46-specific).
Granted, the work is more time consuming and the arrow slit is not detailed but if you choose to follow this path I'll gladly answer any question.
There are two good ideas here, but if you're willing to go with something more basic in DD3 (which is what I did, as I hadn't seen this topic at the time!), you can simply construct two stretches of wall with a small gap between them, then add a fresh short stretch of wall bridging the gap, making sure to set this line up on a sheet below the "Walls" one. It's worth setting up these "gap walls" on a separate sheet of their own in fact, so you can then adjust the effects to get the "gap" to look right. Simply removing the Walls sheet "Bevel" effect worked for me, but you might want to adjust the Wall Shadow too. I've also tried using just a one-colour untextured line of wall thickness to act as the gap piece, matching the general colour of the wall, which gives an additional contrast effect in itself.
I've used this trick for secret doorways intended to be partway up a wall as well as arrow slits (rotating slab style; I was drafting a map for a Dwarven Forge modular dungeon I designed many years earlier at the time).
You are right though. it is to late for the wall I tried to make, when I opened this topic.
But thanks for your advice - I will remember it next time I need arrow slits :-)
