Sorry, I still don't get it.

But then I am dumb as a brick sometimes.... I will give it another go.

Have you ever used panel railings?

Ahhh... I think I know what your problem is - make sure you "show Newels and Balusters"

Yep, I did turn on " show..." I have use panel railings..... cannot get the end "newels" to show.

You failed to set the railing as "No Room Def" in the General Tab before moving it into the opening.

[dshall]

You are right, I simply turned the wall into a railing.

I did another one where I used the newels for the vertical mullions but I could not get the mullions at the end of openings.

So Scott,

Did you not create the railing wall separately first and do everything I said to it before moving it into place? That's the only way it will work - otherwise, it drops the end mullions (newels).

No, I did not create a railing wall separately.

OK Scott,

Maybe this will help. On the left is my Panel - it has no vertical mullions. I create the railing separately from the wall and set it as "No Room Def" with 2x4 newels - not 1/16" as you did.

That solves two problems: 1. Newels appear correct in Plan and elevation. 2. End Mullions (Newels) are shown.

I also show the two Storefront Walls before moving them into position.

Yes, I redid video using the no rom def. Your method works nicely. I did not do a great job with the symbol.... let's just say I can improve upon it... but it is a nice method for drawing storefront glass, thanks. Video upcoming.

It has ramifications for Greenhouse Construction also using 4x4 Newels.

Check it out!

Joe,
What is it that you can't get w/ regular windows?
(Besides 2D floor plan display.)

Isn't your window a Window Symbol that you created?

If not,

How did you get the interior mullions to be 2x4? - or are they?

How did you get the intermediate horizontal to be other than mid height?

Can you put a door into your window wall?

How many adjacent panels can you have?



If it is,

If you stretch your window what happens to the Mullions - don't they also stretch also?

If you stretch your window do the number of panels change?
