I searched for videos or forums about this and still nothing. <BR /> <BR /> How does everyone achieve this?<BR /> <BR /> I did try making a complex wall and placing it in a hole in the grade. Problem I have just found is that I have to have my Elevation mark IN that grade hole so this won't work because I have windows on the other side that has a deck, I can't have that marker against the house like that. <BR /> I attached 3 image of what I did. <BR /> The other item is that on the elevation where the window is in the grade I would ideally just like a "U" shape CAD dashed line with window well required, easy enough BUT then I would still have the issue of the grade hiding the window. <BR /> <BR /> Suggestions? Ideas?</T></DIV> Tue, 09 May 2023 13:54:00 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Basement-Windows-and-Window-Wells/m-p/229641#M123287 Anonymous 2023-05-09T13:54:00Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Basement-Windows-and-Window-Wells/m-p/229642#M123288 I have moved this post as it is not really a discussion about Archicad, so does not belong in the 'Archicad+' section.<BR /> Please try to post to an appropriate section.<BR /> <BR /> I don't have any real advise for you other than to model it as it is built.<BR /> i.e. are there walls around the well retaining the soil?<BR /> <BR /> If you want simplified details in your sections/elevations (dotted lines representing the well), you can either overlay fills and lines, or create a detail or worksheet view in which you can manipulate the image without changing the 3D model.<BR /> Beware, these worksheets and details are not live with the model, and if you rebuild then you may have to re-do a lot of your work.<BR /> <BR /> I would just overlay fills and lines in the elevation.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Barry.
