Box Windows

[saecurtis]

When I manually draw a 90 degree boxed window with a window seat, I get two transparent areas below the intersections of the side walls of the box window and the exterior wall of the house. If I change the side wall angle to 45 degree, this the problem goes away.

Wouldn't it be great to have a "box window explode" command much like the dormer explode tool?

Raise the floor of the room up.

I have the floor height (A) of the "window room" set at 24 inches. Is there another setting that I am missing?

[louis]

Hit the F12 key.

Thanks, I've tried that too, but no workie!

[louis]

Yes it does workie.

I've tried rebuilding walls, floors and ceilings, but it does not
resolve this condition. Every time I draw a manual 90 degree
box window, I get the same results. Not only on this plan, but
any plan I try this in.

Steve,

Your not holding your tongue to the left.

Here is plan view. Floor is at 24".

Camera view.

If you break the main wall at the intersections of the box window sides, make it the section an invisible railing (like the training video), does it create the condition I have described?

[louis]

Which training video says to do that? What number?

[saecurtis]

#740 on version 10.

Steve,

I looked at the training video and that is exactly how it recommends doing that window. The walls work a little differently since the training videos were made. I don't break the wall and I use a doorway on the inside.

Here I was wishing I could get a discounted training video set that someone might have sitting around and doesn't use anymore only to find out that I better keep using my own trial and error learning curve(although sometimes it seems like a straight line) because CA has training videos that teach you the wrong way?eh!

Louis,

Thanks for your help.
