different size sashes for W Sliding3 22 window

[Anonymous]

How do you make the window W Sliding3 22 middle fixed sash be 2x the width of the outside sliding panes? I have never seen a window in real life where the two sliding sashes have to slide into the same space. Is there another sliding window that does it?

Shape... => Pane Configuration => Custom

Then just adjust your widths to desired?

Where exactly in the "window selection settings" dialog is "shape"? I don't see it anywhere. I want correct sash sizes, not custom sizes for divided light panes inside the sash.

This is in metric units but you will get the idea.

You definitely have a different library than me. 3-sash sliding window 22 is not in my library. Only W sliding3 22. That window does not have the shape setting. Why is it not in my library? Am I missing a library? I have version 5009 USA Full. The library is up to date.

Is there a different window library other than the "Wood Windows 22" one shown in your image?

The USA library is different to the AUS library which is different to the INT library.
This is what we have in the AUS library.
We don't have a 'Wood Windows' section like you do.
I didn't realise they were quite so different.

I just had a quick look at the 21 USA library I have installed and I don't see this option there as you say.
Nor can I see a way of doing what you want.

Maybe someone else that uses the USA library will have a suggestion.

Can you DL the window from BIMComponents? Or might the GS objects on there only be top level and not contain the required macros?

I was thinking this as well, but I see only a 3 sash window for version 19.
It would contain all of the macros and I assume it is the INT library version.

I didn't actually download it but if it is the INT version, I am not sure if it will play nice with the USA library.
Maybe all the macros and objects are completely separate so there may be no issues.
only one way to find out.

Also it is version 19 so not sure how that will go either.
That should still be OK I think.

I would have thought BIM Components would be up to date though.
Especially when it comes to standard Graphisoft library parts.

The version 19 window works. The preview is deceptive. It looks like the middle sash is going to slide, but it doesn't.
It does beg the question though. Why was this removed from the newer library and replaced with a window that nobody could ever buy? This is far from the first time I have had to download older versions because the current library doesn't have what I need.
