Using Decorative Sunshade AC14

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:35:14 GMT

In many of the Decorative Sunshades (Shutters) that I see in the field, the Shutter is often about 50% of the size of the window. In the Decorative sunscreen options of windows within the AC14 Library, the Width of the Sunshade can NOT be modified. Any way around this, or do I just have to scatter my plan with individual Shutter objects?

Side Question - Does anyone know where the Material settings for the Gang Material between the windows is set? For this window it is displaying as dark gray for some reason.

Gang (Sash) is also displayed as Gray in the Photo Rendering

Anyone see a Solution for this?
Or Agree that Decorative Sunshade/Shutter needs to have the Ability to have an editable Width at least. Decorative Shutters are not usually wide enough to actually cover the Window and are often one half of the required dimension.

The Above Statement got me thinking about choosing the "Folded" option of the Sunshade, but it stated that I have a Reveal Problem. Instead of fighting the reveal problem I choose the "Regular" Shade option and 4 Panels and Symmetrically placed. This seems like the Solution.

In Attached image the Larger window has the Regular Sunshade with 4 Panels placed Symmetrically. the Small window has Decorative Sunshades.

The remaining Plan inconsistency is the Plan view which shows the "4 Panels" (2 at each side of window) when in reality there is only one sunshade on each side.

Because the Sunshade can not have the width modified, the Decorative Sunshades placed on the sides of the Larger window packages still not to be manually placed using the "Shutter Rectangular 14" Library Part. Therefore any modifications to the window and the object may also need to be modified.

Hoping for a better more editable Window Shutter (Sunshade) Parameter.

This has been brought up before.
Users should be able to input the width and height of shutter. I include all the dimensions because often projects reuse shutters, they are not all bought new.

There is an Option to Adjust the Height, but it is 1/2 implemented, since it seems to lock the bottom of the Shutter and not allow for offset.

Jay,
How about summing up the shortcomings you've identified in a new wish?
