Complex Profile Walls and corner windows

[David Shorter]

OK Graphisoft why is it that I cannot use the Corner Window option with Complex Walls.
Complex profiles are one of the most useful features in the current ArchCAD and corner windows are an architects dream but the two don't /can't come together.
When are we going to be able to place corner windows onto complex walls?

Tried it out myself in AC 19.
Made a wall with the profile manager and placed in corner window.
No problems here.

Very interesting
I have checked the ref guide and page 1220 says......
Please note:
• Corner Windows cannot be placed in a Profiled Wall.
I have also checked again and cannot place a corner window in a Complex Wall.
I must be missing something.

Made a short video of how I do it.
Maybe that will help you: Video

Thanks for the video.
Now I understand....
There is a specific corner window tool which allows the placement of a corner window with (effectively) one click ... you don't have to place both windows or manipulate the junction unfortunately this doesn't work with complex walls.

Hope this helps

Ah, I see.
Also tried a corner window into the complex wall.
Doesn't work with me either.

I agree, it is essential that we be able to use the Corner Window in Complex Profiles.

I use Complex profiles frequently and I frankly don't understand why the two don't function together !

My apologies to Graphisoft......the Corner Window does in fact work with Complex Profiles.

Screenshot is a wall and concrete footing using the Complex Profile and the Corner Window inserted properly in 2D and 3D.

Hi Gareth
Still not convinced .... perhaps a module of your example?

Hi David,

Not sure what you mean about 'module'.

Anyhow, here are a few more screen shots.
