Structural Opening excludes the dimensions of the sill


Recommended Posts

The attached pdf shows that the sill heights do not seem to form part of the total height generated by the window, either in the window settings or in the reports & schedules that Vectorworks generates. In IFC format when exported to Solibri it does give the height inclusive of the sill.

Clearly however this is odd behavior as the structural height should include the timber sill.

If we reduce the window height in the settings to counter the addition of sill height the schedules generated are incorrect as they reduce the scheduled height accordingly. This in effect makes them useless.

 

Is there a workround that allows the sill to be included in the Structural opening height. If not windows have to be drawn without sills.........For a package that is very advanced in so many ways this is a huge issue when trying to use the package to model accurately & generate reports.
