Window symbols vs plugin

[Christian Fekete]

I usually use the plugin provided by VW but the profiles do not match the manufacturers details. I noticed that you can insert a symbol instead from inside the Object info panel. Do you insert a 3d symbol? Are these fixed or can you change the dimensions? I would like to be able to create proper elevation and wall sections..

Is there a section of the help that treats o the subject online?

Thank you

Do you insert a 3d symbol?

if you want, you can use a hybrid symbol

Are these fixed or can you change the dimensions?

I'm getting into the habit of making plug-in doors and windows w/ the settings the way I want them, and then make symbols of them. The symbol can then later be edited, by just changing the plug-in settings.

Don't you have problems with offsets in wall, corner windows etc. using this method?

Hi Jonathan;

Just signed up to see your demo, great information. I look forward to viewing all the information.

I have a quick question regarding windows and doors showing sills where there is none. I know, I found the answer before but I can't seem to get rid of the black line anymore. what is the trick?

Thanks
