ACADuser Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 See attached. In Ortho view some windows you can see through & some not. What is the difference between them? Corona.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 you have opaque glass on in Vector View ( Camera techniques settings) but is that what you want? *** edit: I selected the right hand window in your pic above , clicked the "make default" icon , and they all now go opaque ( or not) with the above setting....

ACADuser Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 OK I see how to fix it. Thanks But why were some windows opaque & others not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Look at the glass material in each, and I'll bet they are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesVolz Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Same glass material. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm away and cannot access Chief, but recall there being multiple materials in library called glass but with different behaviors in vector view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 They appeared to be the same but I'll check again in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, Because you have made the sash size zero on the 2 windows that aren't showing glass. Without a sash, you don't get glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nice catch Glenn, I ran into that a couple of projects back and wondered why that would be so. What if the glass is mortised into the frame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the glass is mortised into the frame? Ed Zachary. Site built windows are commonly built using nothing more than a glass unit that is sandwiched and held in place by an inside frame and an outside frame...just like the mortised condition you mentioned but without 2 separate pieces instead of a mortised groove. This situation is next to impossible to accurately model in Chief. In fact, I haven't complained about it much, but it is actually next to impossible to accurately model ANY window style that we currently use. The window tool really needs some work. We've made plenty of suggestions. This situation you've pointed out is another that should probably be added to the list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Site built windows" now that is a thing of the past here in Florida. But most commercial windows are as attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pretty much get that if you turn off FRAME (JAMB),CASING,LINTEL,SILL and set the SASH sizes all to 2" ? with a depth of 4" ? ( no sizes on detail) and no inset ie 0" though you may want the exterior Sill set to something like the Marvin Windows Clad Subsill A1450 like in the Pic below . edit: Actually for that Alum. Profile it is probably better to set the SASHES at 0" and make the Frame 2"x4" so it looks better in plan view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
