Window Classes Sills and NonPlot. How Do They WorK?

[Bruce Kieffer 110]

How do the classes Sills and NonPlot work? I placed a test window and those classes don't seem to do anything. I turned the window sill on, yet turning the class on and off has no effect.

I think those classes are assigned for 2D elements.

I see that now, but this is not consistent with how classes work in VW.

@Bruce Kieffer, some of this stuff is legacy stuff and really needs to be sorted...it's just something we all have to live with.  The NonPlot class really isn't a non-plot class in the sense that AutoCAD's NonPlot does not plot.  Ours is just a named class...if you don't want it to plot, you have to turn it off like any other class.

@Bruce Kieffer here are a couple of short reads that explain the sills class in both doors and windows.

Thanks Wes.

@Bruce Kieffer Oops forgot to include a file...here's a window with, I believe, all the classes that you can get to (there are some hidden bits) broken out.

 

It uses the "old skool" method of tagging...now days I'd use the Data Tag tool

That helps. Now I see how to turn off the 3D jam, which I want to do.
