When having two identical looking windows but from different library parts, and both panes have a sash turning in the same direction, the Double Window does not show any opening direction.
Only workaround is to modify the Master Script to show the ac_OpeninSide and WIDO_Orientation directly.
It would be great to show this Orientation directly instead of modifying the Script.
Explanation why it doesn't work right now: When two sashes close on each other, such as in a Double Sash Window, there is a hierarchy between the sashes: one sash is opened first, and the second one can only be opened after the first is already open.
In cases where a window is divided into two or more parts, like in a Vertical Multi-Sash Window, each sash can be opened independently. In such scenarios, an orientation value would need to be assigned for each sash individually.
Currently, this is a limitation in Archicad. A single orientation value doesn’t provide enough information about how all the sashes operate. As a result, it’s not feasible to base manufacturing on this information. Because of this, no value is provided for orientation in labels or schedules for such windows.
