    Box window trim problem

    Has anyone figured out how to get the corner posts and external trim to build properly on BOTH sides of a manually built box window?
    We used to be able to do it in 3D, but it seems nothing works now?

    No. I agree that at one time we were able to do it. Try an angled bay (raise the floor off the floor to create a window seat), I now have a gap in the exterior finish where the floor of raised bay meets wall. At one time I did not have this issue either.

    So something happened from one version to the next where this no longer works very well at all.

    I tried removing studs, I tried zeroing out the R.O., I tried removing interior casing, nothing seems to work save pulling the window further away from corner.

    I can get it to work on the left side, but not the right. Long shot, probably dumb question: Could it have something to do with the way Start and Endpoints are defined on a wall. Does that have anything to do with the way they join?

    I tried messing around with the 'thru wall' function. No results...

    There is definitely something wrong here. This really really should be fixed when X6 comes out.

    I got it to work by changing the casing size a little larger, but it was touchy at best.

    It relates to the "window tight to corner" set of bugs that needs to be fixed.
