Window cut fills

mmbrajohan — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:21:36 GMT

Hi guys.

I'm having trouble displaying the cut fills of a window on plan.

I had to create a 4 and 7 pane window, and seeing that archicad only goes up to 3 pane, I used a single pane window and introduced a H-V grid to match the other windows.

The cut fills displays fine on the 2 and 3 pane windows, but on the H-V grid windows, the sash frames doesn't display.

Please see the screenshots.

Any ideas?

I don't think that mullions of the H-V Grid will show when the Floor Plan Display field of the Window is set to Symbolic in the Floor Plan and Section panel of the Settings Dialog.
Try to set ot to Projected and see if that gives you the result you want.

Hi Lazlo.

It doesn't seem to work... I've played around with the fill settings and objects parameters, but still nothing.

It seems archicad disregards the grids entirely.

mmbrajohan:

Try setting the Wall that contains the Window to Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display > Floor Plan Display > Projected with Overhead; and the Window to Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display > Floor Plan Display > Projected with Overhead. This will cut a horizontal section through the window, so you will also need to adjust the Floor Plan Cut Plane.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
