Chad McNeely Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've put a window in a piece of wall, made them into a symbol, and the window now won't show up on the schedule if inserted into another wall. The one not inserted into the wall does get reported on the schedule. Bug? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) It appears that the code is not smart enough to recognize a windows inserted in a wall inserted in a wall. I can't find an easy work around. Are you working in 2D or are you modeling in 3D? If you are doing 2D only, perhaps you can make the wall and window both in the symbol, but not insert the window in the "new" wall as the worksheet will see the window inside the symbol. I don't know if I consider it a bug or not, but if you need this, it should definitely be wishlisted. Edited April 8, 2009 by Pat Stanford Quote Link to comment
Chad McNeely Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 It needs to look good in both 2d and 3d. I reworked the window, using wide flat trims that are styled to look like the inset wall, with 2d fillers between, and setting the 3d wall break to the outside of "trim". I've done the window in a wall in a wall before, so it's a new limitation. I know it works in VW2008, and I didn't get a chance to test in pre-SP3 VW2009. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I just went back and tried it in VW2008 and I get the same results there as in VW2009. Windows in Walls that are part of symbols do not show in the window schedule. If this is something you want/need then I recommend that you either wish or bug submit it. Quote Link to comment
