    brick ledge for a window sill

    So I watched Allens video in this subject (great) and then made my own with a slight change. I wanted it angled to shed water, so I made it in section with poly solids, and converted to a symbol, then put in my library. Looks ok except the sill is wider than the casing and the ends look funny.

    Was I right to make my symbol this way?

    Hi Peter, open the window DBX, go to the "Casing" tab, and next to "Sill Extends", enter a lower number.

    So here is another question, what is the functional difference between the quick "convert to symbol" and the "creat symbpl wizard" process?

    One issue I had with the convert symbol process was when given the option to put what I made in a library, I wanted it to be in my moldings, but the only option it gives me is veneer stone. That seems to be for anything, not just a brick symbol.
