    Cool Bahama Storm Shutter

    I am currently using Chief's Trial Version. Here in Bermuda, Bahama Storm Shutters are frequently used (a single shutter hinged from the top of the window and pushed out to recieve light). It seems that I don't have the option of this type of shutter in the shutter template, besides the louvred window which shows the shutter closed. If I was to generate a CAD rendering and imput an elevation of this shutter open, would it show correctly on a Chief rendering?

    You'd want to create a custom 3D symbol for that and place it in the model, positioned as you wish, for it to show in any view correctly.

    There was a free shutter like that floating around awhile back.
