Bay Window Tool

**Chiefdoggydogg** · 10-31-2005, 06:23 AM

absolutely useless! cant size windows correctly, bay wall goes to the floor level, cant change header hight, cannot use it. i have to manually draw bay walls and insert windows. it stinks

gee...I can do all of that and more with my version

**Chiefdoggydogg** · 10-31-2005, 07:07 AM

you sir are truly my idol . may i ask how you did that? because the only options i have dont pertain to the window. i have to change defaults to get that to change

click on the bay you placed and use the tab key to select the individual window you want to resize, you can open each one up separately and get them whatever size you want

holy crap it was there under my nose the whole time . now my question is when you pull the wall up to the bottom of the bay window what do you do for the interior so there is no gap behind the bay and i also have a platform at the base of it even after i pull up the bay

**Chiefdoggydogg** · 10-31-2005, 07:19 AM

ok now i have a new problem i got the bay the way i want it shaped but how do i make just the bay walls white and not the wall it resides on?

**Chiefdoggydogg** · 10-31-2005, 07:48 AM

also i need to put a shutter on the right and the left of the bay window and i cant figure it out ? you can see the type of shutter i need in the above pic.

You can probalbly change the wall type to something else like stucco 4 and define the color as white?

The only way I know to hang a shutter without a window is to draw it as a 3d polyline. Any other ideas out there?

how do i change the wall type?

**Allen Brown** · 10-31-2005, 08:42 AM

It might work to use the "break wall" tool, break the wall on either side of the bay, then selct the wall and make it a pony wall, make the top stucco and the bottom siding.

However, when I try that method, I cannot get the transition point all the way into the corner, so I get stucco wall as part of the main wall.

What about using a polyline slab in section view, set it to about 1/2" thick, and assign it a siding, to cover the affected area.

I am obviously missing something though, because Tim had the walls right and different in his earlier post.

yeah i was going for what tim had i just cant find the controls for it
