storefront window with various operating panes

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:39:47 GMT

We are using a storefront window system to divide up some of the larger portions of glazing on our building. One instance will look something like the attached image. I figured out a way to divide up a storefront window and adjust the mullions in 3d, is there a way to select operability of different panes to be hoppers or awnings or sliders etc? Thanks

You can always use multiple windows ganged together. Also, Cadimage Door&WindowBuilder can pretty much make ANY window combination as a single window object.

hey chazz, can you gang windows in ac10? does that actually join the windows for scheduling purposes or is it just something to manage plan and elevation representation?

They aded ganging to the windows a while ago but I'm not sure if it was before or after V10. Someone here will know. But when you gang, you have separate windows that will schedule separately. This is one advantage of DWB: you can build storefronts with 30 windows and schedule it as a single unit if you want to. In v12 you can make complex window assemblies with the curtain wall tool, though personally this approach has never spoken to me.
