corner windows acting funny

Aime — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:36:53 GMT

I seem to be having problems using the corner windows. In some cases when I apply the corner windows to a corner there still remains a residue of the wall. In order cases the corner windows apply correctly but when I adjust either side ie. increase the length a bit of the wall appears at the tip of the corner. The walls are 90 degrees to each other. I also noticed a bit of the wall appearing depending on the placement of the window with regards to the wall thickness. I have searched the forum and have not found any satisfactory solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post some screenshots of the exact problem you are having?

I think you moved that left corner Window instead of stretching it.
On the first image, the two dimensions start from the outside corner. In the second image the dimension of the left window is not at the corner anymore.
Try to stretch the left window in such a way that its other end remains at the corner and so does the dimension.

Dear laszlonagy
The dimensions only capture the result of a stretch operation. This is definitely a bug. When the corner windows are applied the are ok but when one side is stretched beyond a certain length it becomes unhinged and the wall appears at the tip. What i try to do is to stretch back the window to the corner in order to remove the bit of wall that appears. But it does not go back to being a corner wall and so does not look good on plan. Though on 3d it looks fine. What I want to know is this bug only in AC12?

It works for me.
See attached image.
the lower part shows that I stretched the left side of the upper corner window by a rather large amount using the Stretch command of the Pet palette and it remained connected to the other corner window.

Laszlo
I noticed that the windows work fine for perpendicular walls that are not rotated. So please rotate the walls off the X - Y axis and try the stretch again. If you noticed the example I sent were rotated off the X-Y axis. One more thing did you use AC12 for your example?

No problems for me here. I insert a corner window into walls rotated 45° from horizontal x axe, and stretch it (I use AC13).

I used AC12 build 2675.
It works for me even with non-orthogonal cases.
Can you tell me exactly how you stretched the Window on the left.
Did you use the Window Tool or the Corner Window Tool?

I either use the arrow tool to select or select through the corner tool. when initially placed no problem. But when stretched beyond a certain (unknown) length it unhinges and leaves the wall residue. I suspect the nearer it is stretched towards another corner or touches another corner then this effect occurs. That seems to be the only explanation so far. I have replicated this so many times that i believe it is a bug (I maybe wrong). I use AC12 int build 2782 full. Please see the attached screen shots

I can see now what you mean.
True, if the stretch goes beyond the intersection point of the Wall with the third Wall on the left then the Corner Window unattaches from its pair.

But I would say this is more of a technological limitation resulting from the way Walls are.
Can you play around with the Reference Lines of the Walls concerned?
