More Window/Door Builder problems

Wokka — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:23:45 GMT

No help from cadimage so I thought someone could explain/help with this.
I have a curtain wall window created but the top and bottom panels don't line up with the centre panels when the 'panel width' is suppose to be the same. Also I don't know where this panel width is measured from, it doen't measure '500mm' from anywhere I can see, whether I splay the corner or not.
Can anyone else replicate the problem or give me an answer?
If we can answer this one I've got about ten more........

Any help would be great.
It's a pity since wall builder and roof builder are great tools!

Cheers

Djordje,
Yes, first thing I do, (after checking my version number).
The Kiwi's must be sore from the rugby (league)(at least we beat them at something) as I got an email this morning but we're just checking versions at this stage.
Does anyone find the new interface better or worse?
Why can't Graphisoft give the developers more room (a dialogue box). I find it a bit cumbersome but they are just trying to squeeze a big issue into a small area.

Closer than you were expecting tho, good game.

WORSE! Too much flipping around different areas. Cick on Dimensions tab, then you get another button saying "click here to see dimensions". Ofcousre I want to see dimensions, that's why I clicked the first button. And adding and removing window panes is a pain too. Preferred the old method on that one for sure.

And I'm getting strange things happen to doors editting their own leaf sizes, frames and gaps at bottom (seems to be doors converted from previous versions).

Still better than AC Standard library doors by a long shot.

s2art,
Actually I'd have preferred that you won, I'm not a league fan but we're way to arrogant! Give me a round ball any day!

Regarding the interface, is it just me or is this the 3rd change 3 releases? None of them have been very good but I think this is the slowest.
Remove a pane is easy, it just leaves a great big hole in the window!
Also, can we save a window type or only a part of a window? (ie sills, 2D pens etc) Weren't we able to save a whole window type before?

Maybe it's me or the help xml.

Yes, I'm also getting lots annoying little issues with both products, but I still find it the best around. Hopefully we'll all iron out the bugs as I think it's a bit undercooked. I feel like a beta tester.
