Wallhole slab for custom window panel

kielbasa
Participant

Hi,

I know that when creating a custom window I need to save a slab with the ID named 'wallhole' to achieve a proper hole in the wall.

However, I prefer to save a custom window panel as I get much more custom options avaiable to be set like slanted jamb i.e. . But when I'm trying to create a custom window PANEL, the wallhole ID on a slab doesn't seem to do the trick. Am I missing sthg here?

You cannot do this as the Leaf / Panel does not have any connection to the Wallhole, it is just a custom defined rectangular shape that is stretched to fit the opening. There is no easy way to achieve this as far as I know as the majority of macros used are based on a rectangular opening created by A & B.

To be more specific - I want to save it as a window leaf (panel), not the window itself. It's the other option possible in the 'save as..' dropdown menu. 
Both of these were created as a custom window panel. The right one is ok, rounded corners are as they should so wallhole ID worked fine.
But the left one is still wrong - there is a hole in the left bottom corner. why?
