Windows - Transoms - Combining?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:22:08 GMT

I have just upgraded from Version 13 to 17.

Since then is there a way I can make two or more windows become one window so they'll show up on the window schedule together, and only have one window marker in plan?

Nope.

All previous workarounds still work.

Would you care to point me in the direction of the work arounds?

The way you did it in 13 is still the way you would do them in 17.

Basically using NoID (or any specific ID) to exclude windows from the schedule, turning off the Window marker and only keeping the one that is linked.

You could use the Curtain Wall tool to create the window and place it inside an "Empty Window' which is the one that has the ID and is scheduled.

or you can use Ribbon Window, or W **MU or the Storefront Windows.

Cadimage's Door and Window Builder. We have been using it for years with good results. I don't think we should have to buy an add-on to accomplish what AC should do by itself, but that is another topic.

I use the Real windows and Doors Library from www.ddgi.com
I agree we shouldn't have to use third party software but no way am I using ArchiCads windows out of the box.
Hope this helps

We have the Real Doors and windows library - I use that sometimes too.
at the moment I am having issues making those windows sit correctly in my walls.

I'll check out the cad image stuff.

Do you guys find that these windows show up OK in window and door schedules?
