Splayed Window Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
We are trying to use the Splayed Window Opening object in a standard flat wall, but we are running into problems. We want to splay the top, right, and left sides of the opening, but we want the bottom to be flat (or normal). However, when we set the bottom to 0 degrees, the other three sides go to 0 degrees also. Is this an object error, or is there something else we need to know?

The settings are shown in the graphics below:

Upon further inspection I found that I could enter 0.01 instead of 0 and it works fine. I opened the GDL and discovered that the object is ENDing if any of the angles are specified as 0. I changed it to allow 0 and it gives me an error when it tries to regenerate the window. Since I don't have time to mess around with it, we'll use the 0.01 degree trick for now.
