Dormers

[michael john williams]

I wish you could edit the window in the dormer.

I wish the dormer did not get embedded into the roof on insertion and not allow you to edit it.

Being able to edit the window in the dormer would be nice.

The dormer can be edited. Click on the dormer and you should get a dialog box for editing.

And I am afraid you cannot edit the dormer from the roof dialog if you set the dormer offset from wall to 0, because the dormer becomes embedded in the roof and only roof edit is allowed

Switch to another view to grab the handle that allows you to edit the dormer. You might need to switch to a side or isometric view.

In fact it is worse in other views - you can not get hold of the dormer at all, even if it is offset from the roof by 50mm. You can only get handles for the roof.

Email the file to me and Ill take a look at it.

As for the other post in regards to VW not being comaptible with XP - what types of problems were you having to cause a system restore?

VW IS compatible with XP, so I am curious to understand more about your unique situation.

Thanks

I will email you the file.

Regarding system restore it was not problems with VW but it is effected by the system restore. Luckily I had disc copies of the drawings. But system restore is quiet a useful function and it is a pain if you can not use it because VW is not fully compatible with XP.
