    6 over 9 window lites question

    I'm drawing an as built and this house has 6 lites in the top section of the window and 9 in the movable lower section.
    How do I set this up in the window dbx?
    Or is there a window in the library like this?
    I can't seem to find one or get my settings to allow me to do it....
    Is it at all possible?
    Thanks in advance....

    are the upper and loweer sash the same size? or is it what is commonly called a 'cottage window'...where the lites are the same size in each sash and the two sashes are different sizes?

    you set them in the window dbx if that is the case...in the general tab set the movable size (ie lower sash) to what you want

    then in the lites tab set the numbe across and vertically to be what is in the lower sash(ie 3x3)...the top will adjust automatically

    No.
    The upper and lower sash are different sizes.

    I'll try it and let you know....
    Thanks for your advice.
