Dormer Windows..

Anonymous

Hiya, I am trying to add extra vertical mullions to a window in a 'dormer pitched skylight' but at the moment the settings only allow me to add horizontal ones. I am using ArchiCAD10.. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Doesn't look possible.... and the option isn't available in AC 12.

You could always build a dormer from scratch (roof/walls/window).

Here's a very old lesson:

But be forewarned, it goes back to AC 5 or 6 and is a bit dated (no Solid Element Operations)

If the dormer skylight object does almost what you want then keep that object and just add in some small colums where you want the mullions to be.
Group them with the dormer if you will be moving it around.
