Problem with Elevations

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a couple of windows which cut accross storey heights (next to the word 'building' on the attached screenshot) As you can see the walls of the lower and upper storey blank out parts of the window.Is there a simple way of resolving this without having to alter all the settings for wall heights?

You must add an EMPTY WINDOW in the same position of the existing one, but on 1 story up!

You have two choices.
Either add an empty opening of the required shape and size to the wall above - but it will not be linked to the window so if you change the window in any way you will also have to change the opening separately.

Or what I would do is split the wall either side of your opening.
Split the wall on the storey above at the same places and delete the wall in the middle (above the window).
Then increase the height of the bottom wall to match what was the wall above.
Set the wall to show on "All Relevant Stories" in the wall settings.
That should be it.
