something new every day, you know...today, for no reason I can discern, my windows have these wacky-WACKY!-projections in elevation and in 3D. They are not visible in plan. The corner windows are simply windows, not a corner window. But they are set up to gang on both sides, anyway, so I can't figure out what is going on...thank you...

I don't think so, you need to first select the corner window tool, then you can select any "plain old window" and place it as a corner window. This will add the toggle function to the parameters.

This particular home has a stucco wainscot below the brick sill which I have added using a thin wall. This seems to prevent the windows from joining at all. If I turn the wainscot layer off and join the windows, it works, then I can turn the layer on again and it stays connected. Very frustrating.
I've found this usually resolves the problem.

Changing it definitely solved all of the problems with the corner windows.

i got the same result when i changed some existing windows to the special edition ones of the same variety. they meet well in plan, but their 3D is way out of whack. the previous windows met at the same point in 3D, although they didn't form a mitre. in this case, i couldn't use the corner window tool, because i still needed the wall to act as a corner 'post' separating the two windows.
it's a pain in the neck, but one i have reported to GS and hopefully they are working on fixing . . .
cheers
