Hi Everyone, I've been working on windows in masonry veneer openings. I ran into, what I believe, is a strange behavior and was wondering if there is an explanation or if this is a bug. I have created my masonry veneer wall with all its components. The wall currently has a height of 0". (I'll take you through the wall style; feel free to pause the video to see the details) I'll insert the window into the wall (0" in height). and it defaults to "Wall-Centerline". At this point the components look correct. I'll change the insertion mode of the window to "Core-Centerline". The window gets repositioned in the wall and everything looks good. Now I change the height of my wall to 10'-0" and all the components change. Some change to red which is what the fill of the object class '*New-Walls Exterior-Main' is set to. but a few of the components are gray. If I switch the insertion point back to "Wall-Centerline" most of the components return to their proper hatches and colors (there are assigned via style classes) but one of the components stays red. If I switch the wall height back to 0" everything goes back to normal. While the wall is still at 0" tall i'll switch the insertion mode back to "Core-Centerline" and the components once again look normal. Change the wall height to 10'-0" and back to half red half gray. That's where the video ends. I started playing around with different wall heights to see where the problem starts and it's right about 4'-10". Playing with the wall heights I also ran into another issue. If I set the wall height between 24" and 38" the window (in plan view changes the sills). I've attached the plan for anyone interested to take a look at. Thank you, Derek Window Insertion Mode.mov Window in Brick Wall.vwx

Hello All This is driving me a bit crazy. I have drawn my walls all at 9'0" high, this is what is set in the Object Info settings. But the walls all measure at 8'-0" high The wall height is set to the layer elevation and is not storey bound. There are no components of the wall set with top or bottom offsets. Somewhere there is a setting that is keeping the wall at 8' but I cannot find it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you, Matt
