Variable openings in window.

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:33:23 GMT

Hi guys, I'm desperately trying to make the image below with the standard ArchiCAD tools (and even the Modular Joinery Object) to get the 4 stack of bottom hung windows on one side, and 2 windows with one top hung, on the other (like the illustration).

Does anyone know how to do this? Our office has been totally stumped and even not specified windows because of this hassle.

Sometimes you have to weight the cost of your time against the price of an AC add-on. If you don't have too many seats, Cadimage's Door + Window Builder may be worth the cost (they have free demos).

P.S.
I'm not versed in MJO... but I think you could make it work (I tried ... and failed).

Thanks for replying.

I'll have a look into cad image and see if the company can get a license.

Thank you for the advice, and I'm glad you came to the same end with MJO.

Hi guys,

I've been having a play with MJO and found the exact settings required! I didn't realise there are multiple levels and options for the various sub-divisions of a window.

I made this by making 2 divisions down and on each side selecting 'frame' from the drop down menu just below 'detailed specification', this allows you to build whatever you want in that space, independent of the whole window.
