Window W/ Transom

Anonymous

Hello everyone

what is the easiest and most presentable way when viewing 3D, to have "W Single Hung2 SE9" WITH TRANSOM?

So my question is how can i add transom to above mentioned window

Thanks

That particular window doesn't have a transom option, but you can turn on ganging for the top of the window, and then install a fixed window the size of the transom directly above the single hung with ganging enabled for the bottom. This should give you the desired look.

HTH,

So that worked good but what happens with schedule know is that i get two columns showing main window Quantity 1 and than another column showing transom Quantity 1

Is there a way to show it full window as one window

is there anywhere i can buy or download this window (W DOUBLE HUNG2 SE9 WITH TRANSOM)

Thanks

That's the problem with ganging windows. You have 6 or 8 windows trying to act as one, and the schedule is completely borked.

As far as I know, you can get the model to look right pretty easily by ganging windows.

The only way I can think of to get the schedule to be right would be to combine the two windows into one window object, which is not a form of hell I would wish on anyone.

There's always this:

but it has it's own learning curve.

I think it behaves differently in schedules than GS windows as well, so it could not be used in combination with them (though I could be wrong)
