Louvre Windows

[RobWhite]

I am having trouble displaying the right number of louvre with the frame size.

I have 152mm louvre blades, so in a 651mm high frame (standard manufactutuers size) I should have 4 louvre blades, but i can only get 3 louvres displayed. I have even zeroed the frame and sash to try and get chief to display it correctly. Still only 3 blades on the schedule. 

 

The attache screen print may help see what I am doing or not doing.

 

Does anyone know how I can correct this? Using Chief 18.

Reduce the sash and the frame values .

Try changing the louvre size to get more louvre's

I just use lites so it appears correct on elevations

It appears that the top louver is about 1" taller than the bottom three louvers. Something off in CA.

Reduce to Sash and Frame to your desired size the keep selecting a louver size until four louvers appear.

Rob,

 

Looks like you are using the Breezeway louvres.

Make the Sash top and bottom width zero.

Frame Top Width zero and Bottom Width 10mm.

The 651mm height you specified is the gallery only (no frame) - the gallery then needs to sit in some form of frame.

 

And don't forget that the 151mm is the actual blade size - there is about a 10mm overlap and I am not sure how Chief handles the Louver Size in relation to the overlap.

Thanks everyone, I had hoped there was another setting, to retain to actual louvre and frame size, but reducing the frame and louvre blade to look right is a reasonable outcome.
