Windows in elevation

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me why some of my window styles always have the same line color around their perimeter as I've used for the external walls? I've changed all of my pen colors in the window settings to red but am still getting a green line around them in elevation. I end up having a dark line around all of my sliding windows.

It's something that is scripted into the windows in the Aus Essentials library.
It is actually using the pen colour for the walls composite fill.

There are two soloutions.

Easiest is select the wall and open its selection settings.
Turn OFF the use Composite's Fill Colours (if it is on) and then change the pen colour to what you want.
Turn it back on and the wall won't use this pen colour but the window surround will.
The wall fill will be as it was set up in the composite.

The other way (harder if you don't know GDL) is to open the window object and add a separate pen for the surround colour and edit the part of the 3D script that draws the lines to use that new pen.
