Window on composite walls: section insulation

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:32:18 GMT

Hi,

I have this problem.

I have a composite walls, with structure and internal insulation. I set the parameters correctly (insulation is a finishing, as well as plaster). When I create a window in the wall:
- on the floorplan view I get the correct insulation.
- in the section view instead, the insulation as well as the plaster won't turn and hence the window is attached to the structural part of the wall.

How can i get the same result in the section and floorplan view? I attached an image of the section, hoping it clarifies better what I am experiencing as a problem. Thank you for any feedback

Can you also give an image of the floor plan?
The section image looks a bit strange.

Here is the floorplan view of the window. Telling it looks strange is not quite encouraging

Thank you for any help.

Sorry but it seems it won't let me add the JPG so I added a small PDF of it.

Here are the settings (I'm sorry if it is in italian, but I guess the settings are the same in every language)

Here are the detailed settings for the finishing

Your window still looks a bit strange.
Is it something special? What's the material of the window?

I've made a simular composite myself with a window in it.
This is what is looks like.

Noting special. The wall is:
- Stone (bearing)
- Insulation (finishing, inside)
- Plasterboard (finishing, inside)

I just would love for the insulation and the plaster to cover the stone wall up to the window, providing thermal insulation. I managed to do that on the floorplan view but cannot seem to be able to do it in the section view.

Question to your design? Can you, from the design you posted, have the insulation go up to the window frame?

I mean the material of the window frame, not the wall.

I've been trying to get the insulation to go to the window frame.
Don't know how to get it done.

The window material is not that important I guess (aluminum). It was the settings of the wall finishing (the ones I posted here) that allowed me to have the various parts of the wall to turn in the opening and therefore get the desired turning of the insulation.

The problem being it works only in floorplan view. You can use the settings I posted and it should work (floorplan only of course)

Found it.
Didn't know you could set that at 'Composites' as 'Type'.
With me it's called 'Core' or 'Finish'.
But also only in de floor plan, not in the section.
In 3D the finish is all around the window.

Happy to hear it worked. Although now it seems we are both stuck in the same situation where only the floorplan works ...

Still no luck here getting it fixed in the section view.

I've been trying for days, that's why I decided to ask the forum. I'm sorry I cannot help you further...

Let's see if someone here might give us the final information in order to be able to do it.

Well, I'm the one who is sorry that I can't help you further.

The only thing I can think of right now is to draw it in.

As far as I know the 3D Script of Doors and Windows is not written in a way so that those skins turn in 3D. This is why you don't see them in Section.
