In need of a triple sliding window X-0-0, not the standard X-O-X

Is there a way to adjust the standard archicad triple sliding window (W Sliding3) to show as X-O-O instead of the standard X-O-X? I'd prefer NOT to have to mask the extra slider symbol on the one side of the window on the elevations/sections/schedule etc, plus I like to have the openings show correctly in 3D.

Hello artktecture,

These two representations do not satisfy you ?


I like to have the openings show correctly in 3D
And you are right !

Yes, the top image is what I need! Can you share the window settings you used?

Artktecture,

It's the first option about "sliding window"
First of all you have to choose how many part you want to slide : 1, 2 or 3

Artktecture and Christophe,

I believe the issue is that artktecture is in Canada, and likely using the USA library. W Sliding3 in the USA library does not have the option to choose the number of sliding sashes.

The International library (which you are using Christophe) is much more flexible.

I have found a similar situation with sliding doors. The International library has many configurations but the USA library in some cases doesn't have a suitable object. I ended up getting someone to "convert" a few sliding doors from the International library to work with the macros in the USA library.

Artktecture, I'd recommend downloading the International version of ARCHICAD and looking at the objects there.

Thanks Eli,

I am using the W Sliding3 object from the USA library and will look into the international version.
