Hexagon window insert

[Shadill]

Hey guys any simple formulas to help me make this window insert? Thanks for any help

[tapwelder]

to keep it simple. I would do draw two perpendicular rectangles with centerlines bisecting. The length of the rectangles would match the longest diagonal across the octagon, while the width would match the one sides measure. Then connect the rectangles with a diagonal line.

Then use it as a template for the window after trimming it to the exact dimensions.

Not really sure what your after but..
Angles are 120° so set your drop saw or what ever to 30° for mitres.
Side length will be 0.57735 of width measured between parallel sides .
Side length will be 0.5 of width measured from pointy bit to pointy bit.

You just cant trust existing windows to be a regular (even all sides) hexagon.

Good luck
