Squiidly Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 A window in a plan I'm working on turned grey when I selected it, which is to say, it became filled, though not the whole window, just the sill/stool/sash, the jamb remaining unfilled. I searched all over for a class within the window that might be hiding a fill that became engaged, but there is nothing. All parts are set to class "none", which has no fill. Any ideas?

Don Berinati Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I have problems with windows too. None, I find, is not none but grey. I have to go through an involved process to make window glazing display as clear. Hope someone around here has an answer for both of us! Quote Link to comment
Squiidly Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 What I don't understand is why it all of a sudden went grey. Is this a 12.5.1 thing? I'm afraid to select any of my other windows, as they are fine! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Setting a window pane style of "none" links that part of the window to the None class. If you do not have any special settings tied to the none class, it's likely set to the default solid fill of white with black pen. Change the None option to something else, then set that class to the desired settings. Quote Link to comment
vsd Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Windows attributes are currently not consistent through all elements, so unfortunately this won't help in all cases. Glazings, (answer to you, Don Berinati) for example, should have a solid fill coerced over the user defined class default. Without a solid fill, the rendering will fail. * Glass elements of the side lights are correctly set: they have a solid fill. * The glass panes of the leaf is not correct: all class attributes default to the defined class. If the user defined class -lets say Style-Glazing 1- is set to fill "none" the side light' glass will display a rendering, while the leaf's glass won't. Workaround: apply a solid fill to the chosen class for the glazing. This will "cure" missing glazing parts in the rendering. A bug has been filed for this. vsd Edited February 20, 2007 by vsd Quote Link to comment
Squiidly Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 My window settings are set to class 'None', there is no fill asssociated with this class, yet the window displays grey. I am working in plan, and the window showing grey is distracting like an old man with no pants. There must be a solution! Quote Link to comment
Don Berinati Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Try this: Select the window, go to Object Info, select no fill and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Squidley - If you are selecting the window in the drawing and referencing the class setting and attribute fill here, this is not going to get you what you need. You'll need to define the different styles for the different components in the window by going into the window settings. You can do this by either double clicking on the window or selecting the window and clicking on the Settings button in the Obj Info palette. Under the Parts tab, choose the various style classes for the different components of the window and glazing style. Quote Link to comment
