Window casing bug?

Geof Gainer — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:41:05 GMT

My window casing on some windows seems to be flying in the wrong direction. Bug or wrong settings?

Bug. We keep waiting for GS to release a debugged version of the US library ... and I believe patience is running very thin over the delay.

Cheers,
Karl

Karl, I think we can upgrade this from a mere belief to a fact.

THere are similar issues with certain INT windows as well.

Yeah, but you INT guys are so much more patient than Americans. 😉

I can confirm that INT is a peaceful nation. I'm just a bit worried about their economy these days:)

In northern Sweden, "INT" means "not". And that describes the economy as well, these days

Well - here it is quite a while later and a new file with windows inserted decides to change the casing settings back to bad - not showing now as opposed to showing on the wrong side of the frame (into the opening). Now what?? I'm not a gdl person and need to get a job out... typical of long term problems being neglected.

BTW I have gone thru all the conditions on AC talk that I could find and thought I fixed the reveal condition - all without actually fixing the stuff. I can't even get an old Neil McCann set to work right.

Any ideas anyone?

Hi Lew,

Steven Dumont posted a workaround here:

Very strange that it should work, but it seemed to.

HTH,
Karl

Ahh to joy of being wrong! Found the one setting that somehow was changed - the one that sets "Scale Sensitive" in the lib parts dialog. All the more reason that settings should be consistent and when one critical setting changes - all the other settings of the same thing follow.

Thanks Karl - I did that routine and it worked for a while. I think that somehow the settings are reverting to a previous one - why is not clear to me but by watching the selection process more closely I may hit upon the failings of doing the wrong thing. This particular difficulty has made the selection process very time consuming and requires more diligence in mousing and shift keying. It showed up while trying to get the windows and doors to all agree.
