Door & Window in Slanted Wall

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:31:56 GMT

Hey. I'm trying to make a lighthouse with slanted exterior walls and windows and doors. The windows doors work in section and 3d, but in plan I get a blue dot. When I try adjusting parameters, I get an error message. There is supposed to be a window plane setting, but I can't find it.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

A screenshot would be useful.
What library parts are you using? What is the error message that comes up? What do you mean by 'a window plane setting'?

Sorry for so many questions, but more info would be good.

The window Opening Plane setting is in the Parameters of the window tool settings, (bottom right).

Are you using complex profiles?

There was bug that didn't display windows in complex profiles in version 10. You need to update your library to fix the problem.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I'm not sure how to do a screen shot. Found the Window Plane thing, thanks, but I get the same problem, ie: blue dot in plan. When I try to edit the blue dot, the error message is "Index value greater than array dimension @ line 158 in the Master script of the file wa_trim_us_10.gsm"

Thanks again.

John,
Have you replaced the macro wa_trim_us_10.gsm with the one
written by Matthew Lohdon ? As I remember, it fixes an issue
involving composites. It is available in the Object Depository
under door and windows->windows (see image below).

Peter,

The issue is with composite walls. I have no trouble with a solid wall. I will give it a try, Thanks.
