Windows- One unit with 4 sections

Llian — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:30:13 GMT

I noticed the window library objects have up to 3 sections - I need one unit that has 3 fixed and one openable casement window. How do I do that?

Thanks

Can't you gang two double casements? (Actually, one of the double casements would be a W Casement 1 window without the transom, to get the fixed/operable effect. See help menu on ganging windows.)

Thanks Richard. I see that but I need to have one marker for the multiple sections to represent it as one unit. The gang still have separate marker. I did a long way but look like it works for now by having one opening of that size and draw the rest in 2d....<sigh>

Okay, then maybe use the Ribbon Window (all fixed), but add some 2D linework for the operable sash, and a note in the window schedule.

If you're on subscription, try the Modular Joinery Object from BIMcomponents. It might work for you.
