Window on composite walls: section insulation

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

I have this problem.

I have a composite walls, with structure and internal insulation. I set the parameters correctly (insulation is a finishing, as well as plaster). When I create a window in the wall:
- on the floorplan view I get the correct insulation.
- in the section view instead, the insulation as well as the plaster won't turn and hence the window is attached to the structural part of the wall.

How can i get the same result in the section and floorplan view? I attached an image of the section, hoping it clarifies better what I am experiencing as a problem. Thank you for any feedback

Happy to hear it worked. Although now it seems we are both stuck in the same situation where only the floorplan works ...

Still no luck here getting it fixed in the section view.

The only thing I can think of right now is to draw it in.

As far as I know the 3D Script of Doors and Windows is not written in a way so that those skins turn in 3D. This is why you don't see them in Section.
