Single-sided Window Wall Details

[whashisface]

Hi

I was just wondering if it was possible to apply an interior [or exterior] window/wall detail to only one side of the window.

I have a section of one wall type which sits next to another wall type. The window is placed in one wall and I was hoping to use the interior wall detail on one side of the window and a custom wall end cap on the other.

Thanks in advance!

I think I've managed to figure this out.

If you create a window that sits next to a wall but not within the wall you can the use a custom end wall cap tool to make the reveal you're after. You then need to make a symbol containing the wall end cap, a small section of the wall and the window.

You can then apply the symbol to a window contained within a wall.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has used this method before? How stable is it?

My test file can be found here if anyone is interested: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17200339/Window%20Tests.vwx

Hi whashisface,

I see your walls are overlapping.

Isn't that a problem when calculating volumes and costs ?
