Hello

I have them on. However I'm using symbolic floor plan display for windows and projected for walls due to different height of windows.

If I swap floor plan to projected i see sill and board in 2d but then higher positioned windows disappear.

Does symbollic floor plan allow display of sill/board?

According to this chart:

I can use only symbolic floor plan for windows and projected for walls, since I'm using complex walls.

My settings: Walls.....Projected; Windows......Symbolic
Sill and Board are visible.

Did you set all the dimensions for Sill and Board?

Check the scale of the floor plan. The sill is only displayed below scales of 1:50 if the window has the '2d Detail Level' set to 'Scale Sensitive'. You can change this manually to 1:50 and it will stay at that detail level whatever the floorplan scale is.

Hope that helps.

in previous versions of AC (pre AC12 i think), you could display a simplified frame and sash and still see board and sill (see window A vs window B) which is handy for a number of uses. is this no longer possible?
