window wall contours and corner options

Ok, I have two questions here that I cant seem to figure out. First, how do you change the pen for the wall contours in a window? I see the option to turn them on and change their line type but nothing to change their actual pen (it appears that they are pen #10).

Also, is there a way to get a ribbon window to go around a corner if its set back 3" into the wall? If its flush with the wall face its easy - take the two windows and turn on their corner options and it looks wonderful. But if the windows are set back, there is a remainder left at the corner.

Any ideas?

Problems like these were intended to be solved by introducing the Corner-Window tool but due to number of constrains with this tool it barely suits it purpose. Hopefully we’ll see some progress with this issue in future.

Don't hold your breath.

I wonder what level of testing functionality Graphisoft go through. By simply using the part it is obvious that there is an issue. So many parts have bugs or issues that a simple testing procedure would reveal.

I am still waiting for these parts to be fixed even though I brought it to the attention of Graphisoft six months ago.
