Custom Windows 2D View problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello guys,

I am creating a custom window kind of gothic shape.
I am doing everything according to tutorials - drawing everything with slabs in 3D, making the wallhole and everything.
They I edit the object 2D symbol...
Problem is because of the sill there's a hole in the wall in floorplan even though everything looks good in 3D.

Can someone help with how should I ressolve this?

2 things you can try.

1. Don't include the extra width of the timber sill in the wallhole slab - just allow for the height of the sill under the window frame.

2. in the object settings press the 'Compatability Options' button and reduce the wall opening width by the extra length of the sill.
