Joe_Carrick Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quite some time ago there was a topic on "Bucked Windows". Here's an example using just the Window dbx in a 2x10 stud wall.

I had an exterior casing (beveled profile) and a RO 1/2" clearance all around when I took that pic. By simply eliminating the casing it's almost perfect - even in vector view. The only problem is that the stucco layer shows as separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, we need control of the materials for Jambs & Sills separate from the Trim - and the Jambs need to work like Window Frames. ie: The wall opening (including stucco wrapping into opening) needs to be outside of the Jambs in 3D. Currently the Stucco wrap and the Jamb face are at the same location. Additionally in 3D the Wall Framing appears at the same location so there's a lot of z-fighting going on. All these problems are tied to Door Jamb / Casing problems I've reported in other threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
