windows w/ offset casement sash

[Brian R]

Is there a method to draw casement windows in plan as they occur in actual construction, with the movable sash either flush with outer face of wall for outswing, or flush with inner face of wall for inswing? This matters when you want to illustrate a deep window sill or a heavy shadow line, and when inswing windows may entail a clearance issue.

Yes. With the WINDOW selected, go to the Object Info Palette (OIP) and click on the "Jamb & Trim Settings". In there is an item called "offset in wall". You can input positive or negative numbers, which will move the window accordingly. Hope that helps.

Added minutes later: Sorry, I just went and tried it and it does not solve the problem. So I guess the answer is no. Oops, my mistake. :-(

You can achieve what you want, and much more, with Ozcad's WinDoor 11 plug-in. www.ozcad.com.au

Click on Products / Add-0ns / WinDoor - there are downoadable QuickTime movies which will show you what it can do and how to do them.

I tried to "offset in wall", also without helping my problem of offset sash. It appears to shift the entire window and frame, which would be necessary with a masonry veneer wall, where the ends of brick are exposed and don't abut the frame.

WinDoor will allow you to offset the sash.

It also includes 10 presaved sets which can be customised for the quick implementation of doors and window types as you want them.
