window sills

[jmartinarch]

when placing a window in a wall i prefer to have what appears to be the window sill in 2d plan view white or no-color, no fill. it seems random but sometimes this works just as i hoped, many times the sill changes to a fill of any color. i check my current settings - no fill. check class settings, no fill. so obviously what everyone in the construction industry views as a window sill must be called something else by VW engineers. HOW do I prevent the sill from filling? Or must it simply be filled as part of some other unexplained function of VW?

Sounds like it must be filled. Did you check the plugin settings?

If a while fill is also ok, what happens if you give the classes you originally wanted as "no-fill" to have a white fill? If you still get random colours then it looks like a bug to me, if you get a white fill then it should for the time being solve your issue.

That being said, if you turn the window into a group and check the fill settings, then what class settings does the sill have?

For Windoor -In the Window OIP select pens and colours and change them there to the colours you want. this will change for all window or just the one selected.

If not using windor I think you have to set the colours by setting the components of the window to use different classes in the OIP under Settings / Classes
