Complex Profiles and Window

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:11:52 GMT

Attached is a PDF of what my windows are doing in Plan and a PDF of the Complex Profile I used.

In the profile the blue lines are the Opening Reference lines.

Can anyone tell me why the window insists on sitting so far into the wall as it is?

Thank you

Hi Jess,

Have you tried to modify the "Construction Method" along with the "Reveal Depth" value?

Cheers.

What is your window's floor plan display set to? And have you tried any of the others?

Cheers,

Try the wall types in the parameters of the window itself.
I had a problem like yours and that fixed it.
Once you have picked right wall type for your complex profile wall there also might be one other setting, but can't remember right now.

Yes I have tried the other floor plan settings for the windows. Even if I can change it to look al ittle better in plan it still shows weird in section.

I have also tried the different wall type settings.
