Windows in Complex Profiles

I'm having a problem with windows graphics when placed in complex walls.

They appear correct on plan but not in section or 3D views. If I alter the "reveal" settings the plan will show incorrect but will be fine in section and 3D views.

In the settings for your wall's complex profile try moving the "Opening Reference" line so it does not include the upstand at the base of the wall.
i.e. you want them to include just the main wall thickness.
You may need to activate and show them if you can't see them.
