Elevation display

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:13:56 GMT

I am having a slight problem with the display of window heads in the elevation view. The material of the head is different to the wall but when I selected the elevation view the wall material is shown and not the window head. Some windows have all the same properties with some showing the window head material and others not. If someone has a solution or point me in the right direction in the forums that would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe one window is facing out, the other facing in. Try fliping them.

have tried flipping them (they all face out) and setting them back from the edge all have brought varying results. Some fix the problem but the next time i view the elevation it is back to the old view of no heads.

I have found that if a header to a window is in exactly the same plane as the wall you get varying results as to whether you can see it. If you know anything about GBL you might be able to push the lintel/header out just a bit.

Thanks John, It seems if I set it out 1mm it will show up except that there are no lines seperating the head and wall fills. Not the desired result either since in section now the window sits out just that little bit
