Ganging WDW's in AC12

[Anonymous]

Used to in 11 you had the ganging option in the window dialog box with how wide you wanted the ganging to be.

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)

This might also help as well as an example

How to model this one?

This is how the window should be interpreted by the constructor .
Different aspect isn't it?

I still need a lot of 2D enhancements although the solution could be this way simply.

Someone is interested to participate in a new topic?

GS can deside then to have adjustements in existing library parts or to add extra window types.

Always useful to question your user base

Was this option (or a similar one) available in AC11 INT Library? If not, it would have been very useful to have it.

Besides this ganging problem, does anybody know how to get rid of this gap between the sill and bottom trim on a window. I looked everywhere in the settings and tried everything but I can't get rid of it. Thank you.

ugh.... The ganging distance bug is still not fixed in this new bugfix release... but not a real surprise since there was no update to the libraries. I suspect the problem is with the individual library parts, not just AC12 itself.

Finding myself using AC11 parts more and more which is too bad since GS really seemed to improve the door/window interface in AC12. Problem is they stopped running the race before the finish line.

This software has the potential to be so great if someone in budapest would just concentrate on putting out one good release instead of giving us more "features" with each upgrade.

Has there been any resolution to this? I would guess that the 2d aspect may have been fixed but it seems the casing is still not working properly. I still have a gap between trims when I gang windows together. Anyone else have an idea why this is happening?

I asked around and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Just aggravates me that something that worked like a charm reversed itself in an upgrade.

Let me know if you find a solution. Only thing I know to do is fake it. Make a layer and have it hidden on all but 3D and basically overwrite the trim that isn't working. Make it like 1/16th thicker so it will cover it. I hate to tell someone to fake it but that is about the only thing I can think of.
