    add a DH to a bay window

    I need to replace the center fixed glass of a 45 degree bay to have 2 double hungs. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding it in components, but I am not having any luck.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    thanks!

    Hi Jason,

    May I suggest you draw your bay manually. You will save time.

    When you use the special window tools you click on the window you want to specify, then depress the "Tab" or "Next" button which will then select the window you clicked on. You then open its specification dialog and set the "type" to whatever you require.

    OR you can set "Edit - Default Settings - Windows -Type to Double Hung but of course that sets all windows in the plan to double-hung.

    What Sam Spencer is referring to is the limitations inherent in using the bay, bow and box window tools, doing such things manually is a little more work but also allows a little more flexibility and choice.
