Heather_Anderson Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 X5 User. Still having this issue trying to mover windows closer to the corner. I have tried ignore casing, it just won't budge does anyone have an easy answer for this. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Is that an automatic bay or manually built bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 the framing is stopping it ie 2 studs or 3" but if it is an automatic bay check the box on the options tab "no framing between components" and they should join at the outer corner.

Heather_Anderson Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 This is a manual bay, is it impossible with a manual bay. I also cant seem to get windows into corners on a 90 degree walls I am including a plan. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 no plan attached .... Chief will always allow 2 studs minimum either side of a window/door/opening I think , you maybe able to play with that on the Build Framing DBX (dialog box) under "Openings"....Trimmers Make sure you have your Plan defaults >Plan >Ignore Casing for opening resize checked too but Corner windows are possible ,with some messing around .

DRAWZILLA Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 You have to slam them together go to chieftutor.com and look at the corner window video's by Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Heather, I have found a way to do this when making the bay window manually. (I'm doing this on a job I'm working on now) I'm going to demonstrate this tonight at our user meeting. To make a frame around it, well that will need to be done manually but the glass will butt in the corner. The window is in the middle of the wall. I'm doing this using X6.

tommy1 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Heather, here is an example of how to make two windows join together. I did this example at our user meeting. Call me or email me if you want to know how I did it. I did no changes to the wall framing. Windows only. I can show you online. I put a slab between the windows to represent a metal piece to fasten the two pieces of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not sure if that Corner glass window is what Heather wants but I found my old post/thread on it too here : https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/147-corner-windows-and-sliding-doors/page-1#entry767 They would likely just butt the glass Tommy and use silicon same as in a custom shower enclosure , not sure there is a need for your metal "connector" really , I'd find it distracting I think but perhaps it is a Code issue some places?

tommy1 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The slab dividing it can be removed. That's beside the point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 somehow I remember that the framing has some problems doing those windows, unless framing is not part of your plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry, this is how it frames doing it the way I do it. No wall framing editing prior or after. I'm sure other people do it differently but this method is easy for me working with just the window only. It seems to frame okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Nice Tommy, maybe they fixed it. I haven't done one of those in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah Perry, we discussed this method. Of course there are other idiosyncrasies that we must understand, i.e. the view in render vs the view in vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Scott is correct. Vector view doesn't look right in the corner but you can do a view to cad and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
