3D window with aluminium sill - not right

Vojtech Slavik — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:44:33 GMT

Hi I'm struggling with Windows I'm trying to do it right but I cannot figured out.

I need window which is opening inside and have aluminium sill and I get this.

This is obviously not right do you know what i'm doing wrong ?

I set window with sun going outside and opening in side. I could find any setting how can i extend or move the window sill

Other question what I don't understand

If I open this window in 3D I get this

But in 2D looks like this 🤦‍♂️ I don't get it

Thanks for any advice

I'm working in AC25 in SWE vesrion

I don't understand the language in your settings pictures, but I think your window frame thickness is the problem. The sill is formed on the edge of the window frame, but you window has a very thick frame, which leaves a big gap between the sill and the window leaf.

I minimized frame thickness but still I don't think this is right how this should look like.

Do you know how to make smaller the window frame ? It's lock on 20 mm

That object seems broken for what you want, unfortunately I don't have an answer.

I did want to point out the "Missing" element is part of the wall thickness and is adjusted by the Reveal depth setting, which is common to all opening objects e.g. the inset from the wall face to the face of the window.

You may already know this, but I thought it might help.

Try to adjust the frame thickness in the red circle (1.) and/or shift the window leaf towards the window frame (2). Windows in my region don't have such a huge gap between the frame and leaf edge, example here:

The distance you are missing (in green) is the inner side of the window reveal, which you can control, but only by controling the outer reveal size.

You are right 👍 Thanks I sett 20-50mm and looks much better.

Big thanks 🙂
