Window opening/ wall ends

Anonymous

When I insert a window opening into a wall, the end lines of the walls are missing (see image 1). Is there a setting I can use to acheive the results of image 2

That window appears to be an empty window.
If it is then the first parameter "Wall Contours"
controls the visibility of the sides and sill lines.

Thanks,

I gave it a go, but when I do that the sill in the distance thickens as well. Is there a way to define a thickness for the sill in the distance, and also a line thickness for the wall ends>

Hi Olivia,
Are you using an empty window as Peter guessed? If not, let us know which window you are using so we can try it and let you know.

If it is an Emply opening, the sill pen is the "Symbol Pen" within the Parameters panel. The end lines of the wall "inherit" the cut pen of the wall.

thanks again for replies.
I am using an empty opening. I have used a symbol pen with a .13mm thickness. I have my wall cut line pen set at .35mm, which gives the outerskin of the walls the correct thickness, but the ends (where the jam of the window is) does not inherit the same pen thickness. It inherits the symbol pen thickness of the window. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Where do you have this set? Within the "Floor Plan and Section" Panel, under "Cut Surfaces"?
