  1. There are currently three projects we have in the works and all of them have an issue with the window glazing. In theory, we try to keep glazing class as it is defaulted on the program (Style-Glazing 1), however in practice mistakes are made and inevitably Style Glazing-1 or Glazing-1 make there way into the mix. With this said, I've gone into each and every window on all three projects and have checked to see that ALL glazing is on the same class, that any preferences are defaulted to the correct class and so forth, but once some of the windows are are even just moved, they default back to one of the other classes... I swear. As a test, I had a window set to Style-Glazing 1 and changed the elevation of it via the OIP and the glazing changed to Style Glazing-1. And with all this said, it would be extremely helpful if we could name our styles... once you reach Style-9 or so it's difficult to keep the rest of the office up-to-date and not get confused.

  2. I've attached examples of what I'm trying to accomplish here. Example A is what I'm stuck with at the moment while B is the goal. With the door, I'd like to be able to place my muntins in different locations/configurations. Additionally, I was hoping to be able to place different munitn configurations in different sashes when customizing windows. Thanks for the help.

  3. Currently, and in the past, the office(s) I work in have used 1/4" scales as a standard due mainly to the use of zoom line thickness while drafting. Now however, I've encouraged the drafters to get away from zoom line thickness because I continually see errors in the drawings; lines/polygons not connected, lines crossed, etc. My question is, what other concerns or considerations exist regarding drafting in 1:1 verse 1/4"?

  4. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have only one set of polygon's left... the originals I used to create my roof if possible. By converting to polygons I have a set for each plane of the 3D Roof Plane. At this point, it's easy to make a mistake by having the wrong plane selected.

  5. I've attached a few examples of graphical issues and wanted to share them with the community and tech guys with the hopes of getting some feedback.

    The first one shows that when walls are sent to roof you can not place a window above a certain point without causing walls to expand beyond the assigned "send-to" layer. In this case I have a wall on the 2nd Floor layer and am sending them to the Roof on the Roof layer. Execution works but once a window is added and elevations reaches a certain plain, the graphics error.

    Second image is double hung window with transom. All part have been assigned Style 1 to take on class attribute of color (Brown) but dividing-piece for transom does not take on attribute.

    Also, after assigning window glazing to Style-Glazing 1 on all windows, any changes (Elevation, dimmensions, etc,) caused glazing, and glazing ONLY, to default to different class... causing me to then enter settings and re-assign class.

  6. Thanks panthony. I'm familiar with the roof plane tool but thought it would take me MUCH longer to develop a roof with... just need practice I guess. After I develop it I'll post an image for your score and any tips you may have to make it better.

    Thanks again.
