Window frame representation (AC 29 - new libpack)

Titiriga — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 10:33:34 GMT

Hello,

I've made the transition to the new libpack in Archicad 29. I cant figure out what settings Im getting wrong. The image shows a side by side comparrison of Archicad 29 with libpack (left) and Archicad 29 with Archicad 28 library (right). This is a horisontal multisash window with opening types set as Fixed Glass (the problem is the same for vertical multisash). The MVO options for plan representation are set to Full in both cases. The settings for the windows are the same in both cases (as far as I can tell). The problem I have is that I want the representation from the example in the right for the frames - full block frames, not clipped by a invisible sash.

What ca I do to solve this issue?

Thank you.

Operating system used: Windows

Works as intended for me on the default AC29 template. I guess its something on your end. maybe you can share your test file here?

Given the bottom frame, I would assume it is a MVO difference. If you were using the object specific MVO in AC28 libpack update 2 previously, that would be your issue as the AC29 libpacks do not have them... The AC30 doors and windows have their own, new MVO settings though I have not tested to see how they migrate from one to the other.
