SEO doors and windows

Anonymous

hello again everyone,

i have been looking now for hours but cannot find the right info...

i am using a slab to cut horizontally via SEOs to decrease the height of some walls so that in 3d i can 'see' into a room that otherwise would have a wall in front of it.

my problem is that i am finding SEO to be a bit inconsistent - when a wall that is being SEO'd has doors/windows, sometimes the doors/windows are cut (to the same height as the wall) and sometimes they are not (i.e. the wall is cut but the window/door remains full height).

is there a setting that determines whether doors and windows should/should not be cut?

I just tested it and the window cut right along with the wall. I am not aware of any settings to control this so I would guess that it is either problems with the library parts or a bug. Does it consistently cut certain types of doors and windows and not others?

I cannnot say exactly which ones, but I know that I have seen SEOs sometimes only cut parts of a window, with a random piece of frame or mullion left uncut.

It's been kind of random, so I'm sure it's a bug.

thanks for the replies. to answer your question Matthew, and to confirm what you both have said, it is very random. instances of the same window/door with the same settings but in different locations are cut differently. the only way around this is to manually adjust the height of the wall only.
