Any new exiting tools/objekts for office d/W-assemblies?

Hi,

Looking for something to allow me to make an object like attach. It must be one object that displays correctly in plan and 3D. It's for a large hospital building so no manual fiddle with combining a door, a window and somethin in between.

Is it always going to be the same size?
If so I would just model it with slabs to look exactly as you want then save as a door object.
Adjust the 2D view and your done.

We don't know what changes there will be but most likely there will be some. We're doing it the way you suggested right now. I don't understand why GS can't add the option of a "in between" structure in a DW-assembly. We use it very often in residential, schools, offices, hospitals etc...
This project is 40000 m2 so pretty big.

Have you looked at using the curtain wall tool? If it does the job you should find it easier to update any changes.

Not viable since CW doesn't cut the walls.

This object will do that pretty easily

Ah, yes of course! Thanks! I managed to find it for download with my SSA. I fiddled around and I'm almost there. I have one issue left and it is the alignment of the sandwich panel in the middle part. There is a small offset and I can't figure out where to adjust it. Any hints avail?

I got it to work and I also created a property set for the using in a schedule. Only quirk is that the library parts create a duplicate that I don't know how to get rid of. It's "LibraryGlobals13". It doesn't do any harm but it's ugly to have the duplicate objects pop up every time...especially since I'm finishing the company template.
