    6 over 9 lite windows

    I thought I had used these with Chief before, but perhaps I'm having a moment. Is there really no option in a window dbx to have different lite quantities for lower and upper sashes in a double hung?

    You can't specifically set the number of lites in the top and bottom sashes to be different but you might still be able to get what you want.

    If you check the "auto adjust lites for component size" and then adjust the bottom component size, you might be able to get what you want.

    You are so right! I never even noticed the bottom component adjustment. Thank you!

    A workaround, if you want a different pattern between top and bottom of a double hung is to use custom muntins. However, with a double hung, it appears that you can't load both top & bottom panes -- probably a bug. A work around is to set the lights in the bottoms pane using the lites DBX and than load muntins into the top pane separately.
