    Very clean looking, interesting way to do it and I like the way you get the vertical distance with the reference line.

     

    How are you getting the horizontal distances? I cannot get the dimension to snap. I had to draw vertical lines for each change below, and then fiddle with them to be exactly 6'  and 8'

    Really seems like you are not seeing the power of the cabinet along with the material Regino technique.  No patching in the inside.  If you want the sill add a molding on the cabinet as well.  If you want more of a 3D look make the cabinet deeper and remove the doors set your stiles and rails exactly how you want them and place on top of a wall material region that will cut the brick away.  Once you have the style of pattern you want it can be done in probably 2-5 minutes for the first one copied and pasted around as needed very quickly.

    Here is an example of what I believe Ryan is referring too... Worked very nicely. The one thing I also learned was that Material Regions will sink into the wall, that opens up some new ideas.

    I will definitely look into this. I always thought garage doors could use an interphase like the cabinets.

    Thank you, Ryan!

    Years ago, before we had Niches I created a block of a material region and a shape to work together.  I think I still have some of those symbols so it's a distinct possibility.

    You might have something here... Could even be a raised panel

    Hmmm. I will look into that. Maybe if something can be created that sinks into a wall, I could create a panel that could be sized to fit under a window.

    So if you don't want the panels inside you might consider a Niche.  The problem is that AFAIK you can't get a Niche to Mull with a Window.

    Well, let me try a niche and see what it does... I think I have some up with a pretty nice option (above)

    Steven,

    Select the window, remove casings, lintel & sill.  set the material to something opaque such as "Solid Panel" - then convert to a "Door Symbol" using the little chair on the Edit Toolbar.

    Once placed in the plan it can be changed to a "Fixed" door and sized vertically to fit below your Window and "Mulled".

    The "mulling" tool will add the casings, etc to the mulled unit.  To edit the panel, select the mulled unit, right click and select next item.  That will allow you to modify the materials, etc as desired.

    I'm trying it, but once it is in my library and I select it, it will not place in plan view or camera view. ??? I removed the casing, lintel and sill.

    This is what I have...

    You could remove the trim and add a polyline and paint to match the wall

    I like that you can control the sash and the frame to get different panel sizes, but a cabinet may do the trick. I like the idea of a window because it plays nice with the windows and doors.

    What about the inside? What does it need to look like?

    Good call. But on this job I don't care about the interior. But very true for if you need the wall, then I think I will try using...

    I strongly recommend you check out using cabinets for those panels.  Easily adjusted to what you want and very quickly.  The wall material region was only to cut the brick material back to the sheathing layer.

    I will have to give this a try

     

    Thank you gentlemen!

    Use a separate window with an opaque material.  Mull them if you want them to be a single unit.

     

    Note that once you get a window set with the desired "glass" material - which can be anything - you can add it to the user library for future use.

    This works in several modes but not Line Drawing
