HStone Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I know how to make a window pair that meet on an OUtSIDE corner with the glass mitered together, but can't seem to do the same in an INSIDE corner. Any tips? Thanks, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Inside corners should work the same as outside corners. You need to drag the windows really hard past the corner to get them to merge. The one limitation that I know of is that you can't have any windows that merge on both sides. It's only going to be one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Also you should uncheck the corner post in the window DBX. Not sure what version you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I submitted this (inside and outside corners) to Tech Support and was basically told what Dermot just told you. Be that as it may, this "tool" or "feature" sucks wind. It is NOT reliable and is a dice-roll whether or not it works or not. This needs to be repaired to a point where it is reliable and professional grade. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HStone Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks for your input, all. I tried a dummy set up and made the inside corner window work perfectly. Apparently it is something about the particular configuration I am trying to use it in that is causing it not to work. The two windows are each above a floor at a different height frm the other. Maybe that's the problem. Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HStone Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm back with the inside corner window problem. There is something about the configuration that won't let it work. This is an as-built condition and I need to get it right. Anybody want to take a look at the file and see if they can make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HStone Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Here is the file; There are two inside corners on this that are supposed to be glass corners where porch meets kitchen. I can't make the program draw them for some reason. Works fine if I make a dummy to practice on. Appreciate any ideas. (I use X10).

dshall Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The main problem is you have an intersecting wall that messes things up... the invisible wall between the porch and kitchen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HStone Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 I suspected as much, but in fact there is an 11" change of level there and I don't know how else to make it draw. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You have 4 invisible walls right there and a 1 tread staircase you don't need too? , 1 room divider will give you the step down by altering the room Floor Height. Your two windows are different sizes / at different heights ...that is the issue I think... and possibly the Window separation still at 2" in the Defaults. ***Edit ...it appears Scott and I are both correct the Window won't form correctly if the Wall Divider is at the Corner and they aren't the same size. 2 hours ago, HStone said: I suspected as much, but in fact there is an 11" change of level there and I don't know how else to make it draw.

HStone Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hi all; I cleaned up the various room dividers and came up with a cheat to keep the windows all sitting on the same floor elevation. Worked! Thanks for tips. I've attached the file with the fixes in place. Proposed2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HStone Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 The above said, the configuration with the two glass corner windows is incredibly unstable. Any tweaking in the vicinity and I lose the corner windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
