OK thanks, going to try it. For all you expert users out there, note Tech@Nemetschek's reply to this question, and I quote.... "Unfortunately, creating a tapered reveal for a window symbol is beyond the scope of Technical Support". Oh....er.....ok. So if anybody has ever succeeded in doing this, and I KNOW you're out there somewhere, give yourself a pat on the back! Any chance somebody could email me an example so I can just import it? Pretty please? Dave Hammond

WHOA!Can I ask something? Do I understand Andrew Bell to say that, if I get architect I get a whole new "editability" of PIOs and symbols? This would be great because, right now I'm trying to create a window object with tapered sides I can plug into walls. Like Michael, I can't seem to get it by editing the existing window symbol, or by creating a symbol from something I've drawn. Well, actually more correctky, I can create the symbol fine, but it wont plug in and trim nice and neatly like the one in the resources does. What am I missing? Ability with Scipt? Architect?

Yes, thats what I tried to do....doesn't work for me because the symbol cuts a square sided hole in the wall and doesnt repair the cut to fit to the splayed sides of the window. Also, the symbol ends up with the depth of the reveals fixed as originally drawn and doesn't modify to suit the width of the wall.

OK thanks. My mission now is to understand classes properly.

I'm a brand new user with basic VW 11.5. No Architect yet. I want to create new window symbol with splayed reveals which will insert and trim correctly into walls created with the walls tools.The standard window PIO in the resources works fine, but I can't see how you can edit the reveals to get splays. Do I need Architect?
