Christina, You can use the basic glass panel door type: Just modify the Bottom Panel frame Width to suit: Jim

There is a setting in the Appearance Panel that forces gray scale items to either black or white. Go to Preferences / Appearance Panel / Display and switch on Grayscale as oppposed to Black and White. Read up on the help description for item #4. That's my best guess.

I took another approach with an interior wall hosting a modified window. I created a skinny wall type with Insulation Air Gap as the sole material: This wall then hosts a full-height fixed window with settings to tweaked to mimic a glass panel. (I turned off casings, sill, sash, etc. and adjusted the frame width). Materials adjusted as required. Jim

Lane, Funny, but I was dealing with this very same issue earlier today for a breezeway. I believe the answer is no. To my knowledge there are 2 two methods to control spacing: 1) Turn off railing columns / balusters and place the posts separately / manually. 2) Break the railings into separate lengths (break the rails and then flip the rail so it does not auto-heal back together). You can then control the post interval spacing for each defined length. Here's the breezeway I was working on today. I broke the initial 4 railing runs into more segments to better control the spacing (A, B , etc.) and to make the spacing match on both sides. Jim

Just about every other day I learn something new from these forums! Jim

Thanks Kevin for this technique. Jim

Good morning, I'm doing some project housekeeping and noticed I have wall type "Siding 6" and wall type "Siding 6 - NEW." Both are identical. Is there an easy way to consolidate or "merge" these two wall types into one type besides going through each wall on by one? Thanks again, Jim

Thanks Robert -- that worked really well. Jim

Good morning, I have a tall double casement window (1) with a custom library brick sill (2). I need to make the window taller (3) and drop the sill to the finish floor... As soon as the sill goes below the floor plate, it disappears (4). (Not entirely surprised by this behavior). Wondering if there is a workaround to force the window sill to appear? Or do I need to show this with, say, a 3D solid? Thanks again,

It's controlled by layers. Turn on or off:

I google "Class A ridge vent" and it appears there are a number of products out there: Brandguard, Air Vent, etc. Once again, I don't think you need the mesh at the ridge vent. It's already built into the Vulcan vent and it keeps embers from entering the attic space. My guess is the the ridge vent product would just need to be compatible with your Class A rated roof -- I'm assuming asphalt shingle. So, I think you could make your detail work.

Yes, I would argue the Vulcan vent functions as the attic vent and the Cor-a-vent is "cosmetic." The Cor-a-vent may however need to satisfy the Class A requirement of the roofing system. I'd suggest looking into that. Jim

Can again confirm issue. Just happened on plan I'm working on. And yes, a bay window is in the plan. Jim

Thanks Chopsaw! Thanks TT! Jim

Hi, I was working with railing panels today and noticed the panel infill varied with panel type. Here's an example below. 3 railing walls each 10 feet long. 3 different library panel styles. You can see that the panel counts vary from 2 to 4. What controls the "repeat" behavior of railing panel infills? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks again, Jim
