Walls blocking windows in floor plan

ari_brick

When I view my model in floor plans and turn on the simplified plan graphic override, windows are hidden behind the walls they are supposed to cut. The walls just extend over them. Do I have to add an opening to the wall everywhere I have a window? Or is there some other way of drawing the windows over the walls?

We don't have that GO in the AUS template.

However, I think you will find it that the rule setting the cut fills black may have the cover fills buttons active.

Try turning that off.

What are the settings for your Graphic Override?

If you turn it off and the windows are fine, then something in the GO rules are overriding the window openings (or entire walls) as well.

Well, this is the default "simplified plan" GO from AC26 INT. Zone fills are transparent, cover fills are also transparent, Cut fills are black (in this order). Are there any other rules to a GO than those I see in its settings? For now it works fine if i add an opening the same size of the window as well, but I dont know if this is how it's intended to be done?
