Special windows problems, version 9

[Tom Krowka]

I seem to have a problem with "special windows" section of the library. The round, round pivot, and trapezoidal (haven't tried the others) all seem to have a different problem with trim.

On the round window, the outside and inside trim stay "wood" color no matter what I have selected.

On the round pivot window, the trim will change, but no mullions will show up.

The trapezoidal window has the same problem as the round window.

The button in the model tab is checked for "use object's materials". Anyone else having this problem?

I have AC on 3 machines; I know for a fact problem occurs on two of them, haven't checked the third.

I tried a repair installation, did not make any difference.


Is this another window bug like the one in version 8? If not, what could it be?

Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi Tom,

Yeah, you've found some more library bugs. The material for "Interior Trim Material" (gs_trim_in_mat) is used for both the interior casing as well as the exterior brick molding. The "Brick Molding Material" (gs_trim_out_mat) is not used inside the script.

For example, the 3D script of the W Round Fix window has:

!!casing_ext!!
IF gs_trim_thko>0 THEN
	MATERIAL gs_trim_in_mat

where it should have

!!casing_ext!!
IF gs_trim_thko>0 THEN
	MATERIAL gs_trim_out_mat

I didn't look for all of the other problems...GS should probably review all of these objects and release updates.
