window placement in wall thickness, Passive House

cremsberg — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:27:39 GMT

I would like to know if there is a control to show a window frame and sash at a particular position relative to the exterior face of a wall, not necessarily right at the outside face. Is there a control for this?
This would be particularly useful when working on Passive House projects.

You need to give more information about the skins of the all you want to use. Passive House is too vague. What you might mean is how to get the windows right when you have the situation where you need to use window bucks. Or where you have rigid insulation on the outside of the wall sheathing.

Yes, there are settings and modeling techniques the you can use with ArchiCAD to make your windows graphically correct in floor plans and 3D in any kind of wall.
