Sliding window with fixed transom?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:18:39 GMT

I have some sliding windows with fixed upper transom, using AC15 int library that is not an option in W2 Horizontal Slide 15 window , however it is possible to add a sash and control it for W4 Horizontal Slide 15. and I am trying to avoid using curtain wall because I need them to be in windows schedule (with 3d front view). the option I have right now are :

1- Apply fixed window but separate the panels ( the problem with this is that it won't show correctly in plans as it won't be sliding)
2- Apply sliding window and add a frame to show the upper part as a sash ( the problem with that is that in elevation there will be double frame in the middle all the way through the transom).

Any ideas?

EDIT:I found a sliding door with transom, but it comes with sidelight and I just can't turn it off? D Sliding 1Sidelight Raised 15 and D Sliding 2Sidelight Raised 15. any way I can turn the side lights off?

Two things you can do is either use the Modular Joinery Object or in your #2 problem, you could SEO one of the frames so there isn't two frames in elevation.

I don't think that SEO would work. it will be a headache in the elevations, and it won't be correct in schedule.

SEO does not work with windows or doors.
