Window: Show Opening in 3D

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:21:45 GMT

Besides the fact that the Casement windows are shown reverse to US Standard, how do you show a simple Slider with one panel fixed and the other operable. the Slider that I am using is the "W Gliding 2". If "Show Opening in 3D" is checked, both panels show as gliding. Is there a parameter that I am not seeing?

Jay,
the bad news is that you have to change the code to have only (1) leaf operable shown correctly with one arrow.

the good news is that under the parameters tab under 'options' you can switch which slider is on the exterior.

The New Library has changed the way "hinged" Windows & Doors show in 3D to match US Standard. Thanks GS.

I was hoping for a change in the Gliding Windows to allow for the option to choose the pane that is operable. Most all (2) pane sliders that are installed in our area have one pane fixed (exterior) and the other pane operable (Interior). Showing opening operation in 3D produces BOTH panes with arrows.

can anyone give me advice on how to get the slider window objects to only show one one the panels as operable?

I just noticed on opening an old AC 7.0 Project that the " W Horizontal Slide 70.win" window only displayed one side as operable. Can any one till me if there is a AC 9 window that displays this way? Or what do I need to change in the 3D Script to get this kind of display on the Sliding windows?

This old Window actually seems to only show the opening arrow in the Section views, but not in the 3D window. This is fine for me.... al least it show only ONE side opening, which is 99% of the Sliders that we specify.

I took a brief look at this and found that the directional arrows are in a macro that is referenced by other windows, so there is no simple solution to your problem, as modifying this macro would affect other windows. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If you mean it will affect all the other windows by only placing ONE arrow on ALL horizontal (and for that matter Vertical Sliders) I would be happy with that since it is the very rare occasion that I would need to have both panels of the sliding windows operable. We mostly have one panel fixed and one panel operable.

Jay:

If you want to try:
The parameter is "gs_opline_3D" in the window part "W Gliding2", this is changed to "gs_opline_type_m" in the Master Script. In the 3D Script this parameter is passed to the macros "Casement_a 81" and "Casement_b 81". In these macros, the parameter is then passed onto another macro "wa_oplines 81", the arrows are created here in the 3D script. This is the code you would need to modify to disable one of the arrows, it is not evident to me how to easily do this. Also, I suspect that other library parts use this macro, so the consequences could be far reaching.

Good Luck.

David

Is it possible to simply turn off these arrows? I don't care about "operating" the windows, I just want to show a clean double hung window in elevation.

Yes,

If in AC13 or 14 it is a Model View Option.

In AC12 and earlier it is an option for the Door or Window.

So does this mean with Versions 13 & 14 it is an "all or nothing"? Can the appearance of the arrows no longer be specific to the window itself?

In AC13 it is all or nothing though you can create different MVOs to control it on a per view basis.

After all the confusion with the change in 13, (do a search in the forums since this is asked almost once a week), you have an override in AC14 for individual doors and windows.
