    window casing problem

    My client wants only lintels on the windows and doors. When I ctrl move the windows into the corner, the window on the right in both cases shows the vertical casing, even though interior (and exterior) casings are suppressed.
    Any ideas for why this happens and/or how to fix it?
    For now I'm saying to client "pay no attention to the vertical casing on the right, it has a mind of it's own".
    Thanks for looking

    Bard....This is a bug. What I've done is manually install trim around the window. It's a real pain, but as far as I know it's the only way to get around this if you want it to look correct in a render or raytace.

    Corner windows are super buggy. They do an even stranger thing sometimes when you have an outside corner on interior windows. One of the things I've also done in some situations is to utilize doors, or pass throughs to get what I'm looking for. They seem to be a lot more stable.

    Barb,
    If you have a lot of these windows there is a work around that will allow you to place these windows with lintels more or less automatically.

    Create a symbol to represent your lintel and give it a Y origin of about 8" and a Z origin of about -4"; Then apply the lintel in the window DBX as an exterior capital. The altered origin will make it show up on the interior.
    You may need to refine the origin adjustments for your wall thickness and exterior casing height.

    These lintels are less than fully automatic as you will need to specify the width in the Treatment tab of the window DBX.
