In 12, that ganging selection box is still there but no size of the mull you want. Is it located somewhere else or did they do away with that (hope not)
Despite the need, I can't achieve two ganging windows with a single post in between (situation B). I need it on regular basis.
I've tried in AC12 : window frame of 3 cm + spacing at reveal (situation C).
So I get a correct 3D representation but the inner lines in the 2D window frame are absolutely not done!

Why didn't you GS add the option "custom window frame width" instead of uniform width? This would help a lot and not too difficult to achieve.... I guess 
See picture.

Karl, thanks for telling the people at graphisoft about the ganging issue in ac12. I feel a whole lot better. 
You can do the same (maybe it will make you feel a bit better 
).
You can report it to your dealer (and all users can report them to their respective dealers), and it will get to GS.
Karl reported it.
I also reported it through a different channel.
The more sources they get it from the more probable something will be done about it soon.

Hey thanks for pointing that out Laszlo. I didn't know we can report matters like this directly to our dealer. 
Yes, that is the standard line of reporting with GS and works pretty well as far as I know. I mean the message or bug report actually gets to GS.

While AC12's behavior might be inconvenient in some cases, I find it more logical and correct than AC11's. If I interprete your request correctly, you (and Karl) are trying to construct one W2 casement window by ganging two W1 casement windows. I find AC12's refusal to remove the joint line quite to the point, if ganging/combining of several windows with
If, on the other hand, this feature (like some seem to do in AC11) is used to construct a multi-sashed window, with one (common) mullion (frame part) between any two sashes (Joeri's situation B), don't we need other parameters instead? Not only a switch to remove the joint line, but also a width parameter for common mullions (which normally differs from the outer frame dimension), and perhaps more, like different dimensions for vertical/horizontal etc.
Seems to me you're actually asking for a
And, if you just want 2 sashes, why not use the W2 window?
Also I can't see the problem with putting a structural member between two windows. I do that often. Naturally, they're not "ganged" anymore, but you can always group them, etc etc.
Please explain this issue to me!

Thomas,
Of course it's not about the W2 Casement window in particular... The picture shown is just a rough representation. In fact it's about combining whatever window in the AC library with another one to achieve more alternatives. No need for more AC window types. Isn't that what's ganging all about ?
I hope the next image will clarify.
For example, try a window with 4 equal parts and one side-hung...no extra structural member needed.
Daily practice
Still looking?
