Window Boxes

[dshall]

What is the best approach to build window boxes? I run across these every now and then and they are always a pain. I also need the shadow box inside this produces when built on site.

Heck, I had to stick my big nose into this, this is another method,

Scott, your way is much easier and I have done them with the opening method before but forgot. Who would have thought that.
Thanks for the refresher. I need them sometimes.

Rich what I found out is that I didn't cut the wall and make it invisible like you did. There is a way to show it correctly, just do an interior elevation and pull the wall down at the box out. Then you need to use a p-line solid filled as a cover up of the wall for the floor plan to show correctly.
Tommy, did you break the wall and call it invisible. I think it is the same problem we have with moldings around invisible walls.

Cut what wall and make it invisible? No I didn't. If you're talking about having a wall opening for the inside, I use a door opening and drag the opening to fit the box window. This is how I've always done it. I guess I could look at his plan, but this is the only place I can think of where you might consider using an invisible wall.

Well, didn't download his plan but watched a short part of Scott's video and saw that he was doing what I do which should fix the problem I believe. Didn't watch the entire video.

Why not, their fun

"they are" or "they're"

Here we go again, I promise you that I will do it again and again. but keep reminding me and some day I just might get it right. look at it again, I think I got it correct. Can't see?
