CUSTOM WINDOW-HOW TO ADD CASINGS, TRIM ETC

[rob2218]

CREATED THIS "CUSTOM" WINDOW. HAS A "WALLSLAB" HOLE SO THE WINDOW CAN FIT THE WALL PROPERLY,
QUESTION:
1. HOW CAN i MAKE THIS OBJECT CONTAIN CASINGS, TRIM, SILL...ETC.. LIKE A STANDARD WINOOW IN ARCHICAD?
2. DO i HAVE TO GO INTO GDL OR CAN I SIMPLY SCAB FROM ANOTHER WINDOW OBJECT?

Rob,

Just model what you need as part of the window. It's been awhile, but 0 elevation is the outside of your wall. If you need outside trim model it below that elevation. Interior trim will depend on the thickness of your window.

Look in the manual under custom windows.

WOW...great looking elevation. lots of reveal detailing.
"model it below your plane"?
ok, I'll try a couple of test custom windows. see how that works out. Guess it's a trial-n-error effort.
shame these custom window objects can't have "casing" and "sills" like normal windows.
