Craftsman lintel over openings?

Richard Morrison — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:57:53 GMT

It seems that the AC standard library doors/windows do very nice extended lintels, but you can't make them project in front of the side casings a bit, so the 3D reads as a lintel.

I have SmartParts, which will produce a proper lintel, but it's buggy and seems like it's been abandoned for any more bug fixes. I guess Cadimage will do everything I want, but seems like I shouldn't have to buy this.

Any creative solutions other than adding a beam? (I could add a .5" x 5.5" tall beam to the face of every window/door head, but this seems a little hokey.)

If you email Neil McCain at smartparts he will most likely make changes to the part if you as him, he has done this for me in the past.

Sam,
The last bug I emailed Neil was almost a year ago, and nothing happened -- until TODAY! I see some new updates have been posted, so I will stay hopeful.
