CREATING A FIXED MULTI PANE WINDOW

[simbob]

I am having trouble creating a 3D window like that of an office block, specifically with multiple glass panes. So far i've managed a single pane framed unit, but i need a unit with 3 panes of glass i.e. alu framed, non opening with vertical mullions. The lower section of the wall is solid brick so can't use a curtain wall.

There must be a way of doing this - Perhaps there should be a more basic window and door tool as well, for those of us who are not Architects?

This type of wall?

Are there structural reasons why you can't use a curtain wall? Because your description sounds like a curtain wall or storefront system.

In the Window PIO, there is a Custom window type where you can make what you're describing- a single unit with three fixed panes.

Technically it's not a curtain wall - just a regular window with solid brickwork underneath (can you do that with the CW tool?). I managed to make something that looked ok by adjusting many, many parameters!)

Are any of these what you're looking for? All were made with the Curtainwall Tool.

I'll look around for the actual .vwx file if anyone wants it...
