AC9 Library Sepcial Edition.pla Casement window problem

Anonymous

I believe I have found a glitch in one of the new library parts.

The W1 Casement AwnU window under Wood Plastic Windows 9 of the new special edition AC9 library does not have the option for brick mortar like the other windows do for masonry arch. Also, when I choose the masonry arch and set the brick heights, etc, the brick header doesnt show up on the elevation section.

I have the Masonry Arch projection set to 0" and I also set one to 1/2" to see if that makes a difference. The only thing that shows up on some of the windows is a line representing the perimeter of the header, but this is'nt consistent on all windows.

On all the windows I've used the same masonry Arch projection settings, the brick soldier course shows up well in the 2D elevation as multiple lines.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch I should give up trying to resolve?

Thank You

It appears that you may not be using the most current SE library. All the current parts have an SE aappended to the part name. In the latest library there exists the following window:
W 1 Casement AwnU SE9


The problems you mention seem to work fine with the latest windows

I double checked it and its definately a window listed under the AC9 Library Special Edition.pla.

I even double checked the Library Manager and the only library Loaded is the AC9 Library Special Edition.pla

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

vincon2,

As Dan suggests, you are using the OLD version of the SE library. Please download the current version posted October 11 or so and try again? Be sure to delete the prior SE library PLA.
