Shutter Location on AC Windows

Hey folks,

 

I've been struggling with this for a while now and I'm sure there is probably an easy solution I am overlooking. When putting shutters on a window, I really need the shutter to go to the inside of the casing. I am actually somewhat confused to why the shutters would exist on the outside of the casing. I have tried rotating through the different shutter options to no avail. I have tried to create a custom leaf with an offset in an attempt to trick the computer into putting it on the inside. Converting the window or other elements to a Morph would not be acceptable. Any solutions? It is creating a large discrepancy for how they are built in the field.

What are your settings? I cannot actually get it to be outside of the casing on AC28... is this the US library?

Hey Ling,

Yes, I am in the US library. And you're correct, after using the INT window, the Shutters are in the right place. I guess I had a misunderstanding with the Global Library. I thought the Objects would all be the same going forward, I don't understand why there are small differences between the two that lead to inefficiencies in workflow.
