Markvl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This is for the tech guys at VW. Perhaps we could see a fix in upcoming service packs? I've been toying with 3D window details such as using "Jamb Extensions" but I've noticed a glitch in how Interior trim interacts or positions itself in relation to the Jamb Extension. I've attached a couple of screen picks to illustrate the problem. I've never noticed this before as I've never used jamb extensions in earlier versions. I used clip cube to show this issue from a right side position. This is not an issue in top/plan view as seen in the second pic. It also does not matter what type of window one illustrates; Casement, single hung etc. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 No thoughts from VW staff? No thoughts from anyone? I suppose that the plan view by far is the most important but the correction to be made to the sill and header would make interior shots far better. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @Markvl is this what you're referring to? Mine seems to work...my jamb extension is set to 3/4" to match the jamb thickness.. (test file included)...maybe it's a particular window config? Wes Window Issue.vwx Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 @Wes Gardner Hmmm...well I tried another window. I set my jamb depth to 4.5" and my extension to 1/2". Again the side trim works out fine but not the bottom or upper trim. See pic attached. You'll see in the pic that the bottom trim creates a kind of 3D pocket. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) @Wes Gardner A quick update. I adjusted my jamb width to 1/2". Essentially matching my jamb extension and look what it does, it fixes the issue. But this is not the result I want. When I set my Jamb width to about 4.5" I actually create a more realistic effect of how a replacement window looks. The jamb extension in many ways should be called a drywall return.

Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @Markvl, can you post up the offending window file and I'll submit a bug. Dunno if it's a trim issue, jamb extension issue, stool issue or some combination. If you could include in the file, set up two scenarios - one where it's broken and one where it works OK.

Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @Markvl, it seems if I set the thickness of the jamb extension to LESS THAN the width of the jamb, I can get that "pocket" to occur. Wes Quote Link to comment

Wes Yes this is the exact problem. I suppose you could submit this as a bug from your end. Thanks for having a look @Wes Gardner Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Wes Gardner have you looked into this at all or passed it along to the tech guys? Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Markvl. I can't get it to mess up in '21...can you attach a messed up file ? Wes Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Wes Gardner Hehe. I tried a whole new blank file with a new window and still get the problem. See pics attached.Jamb-Extension-Problem.vwx It works as it should on the vertical as seen in the plan view and 3D but not in the horizontal both at the bottom and top of the window. Type of window does not matter. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) The Jamb Extension in and of itself works as it should, its when applying Trim that the problem shows. The trim will not align top and bottom as it does vertically. I have to create my own trim to show properly. Edited May 20, 2021 by Markvl Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Markvl, yup, problem is still there...I'll submit a bug...I tried it in a new blank file with a completely UNSTYLED wall and it seemed OK...obviously not! Thank you for bringing this to our attention Wes Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 @Wes Gardner I appreciate you having had a look at this and submitting a bug. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 @Wes Gardner I know things can take time but this is still a problem in VW2022. Should be an easy fix for the code writers. Quote Link to comment
