Ganged window trim

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to create a group of windows as shown on the attachment but can't get the trim to dispaly right.

AC's ganging doesn't appear to accomodate different height windows and now I'm trying the cadimage door and window builder but it seems to want to mull the windows together without the trim between them that I need. (Even with that, I wish it let you define the individual window sizes and width between them rather than starting with the over all dimension but that's off the subject...)

Is there a solution I'm missing???

Chris:
If all else fails.... turn the window trim off. Then build it using the wall tool (3/4" thick walls - 5 1/2" tall/wide). Not so great if the windows move/change.

If your not worried about 3D renderings... just use a patch on the elevations.

Thanks for the response - This design is pretty much complete but I'll face this with others that are preliminary and liekly to change so I'm hoping to avoid having to custom build the trim each time it changes. (kind of cuts in to that productivity gain that graphisoft brags about)

I guess I'll look into the patch route.

I'm still new to AC but have now used it enough to run into several of it's shortcomings. I think it's odd that a basic need like this hasn't addressed. Definetly frustrating..... It would be good to give the programmers the same sort of projects we all have to do on a daily basis so that they could see where the software shines and where it really falls short.

thanks again!
