Quad Casement?

In the window settings, there is only options for a single, double and triple casement windows.....I'm in need of a quad.  The problem with taking 4 singles and mulling them, they are in a 2x10 wall (yes, weird), so the mulled sections look like mini tunnels....not good.  I changed the spacing between mulled to 0", this still left a 1.5" mulled area.  The attached image shows the undesired result.  The second image shows what I'm looking for, except in a Tripple Casement

Mull them together and change the mulled depth.  See attached picture.

In order to make this work, the frame and inset also have to be adjusted.  This is one of the key setting though for sure.  It's just not the only necessary setting.

Yes I didn't play with that, I just looked at the 1.5" apart issue which I didn't think should be happening if the Separation was 0"....  wasn't sure what look he was after for the rest...

Her is one I did some time ago. 3 individual windows.

 

Note how each window is defined prior to mulling. See the frame sizing and check for any other obvious changes to the defaults.

I think I'm getting the idea, just haven't applied it to mine yet.

 

Although it's a mulled unit, the middle windows need to be adjusted accordingly?

I believe he wants 2x10 walls.  I'm pretty sure that Erics system will work if it is a 2x4 wall with other layers that pad it out to 10" thick.

 

No reason to pad anything, and you actually don't even need to mull anything.  The key settings are:

  • Sash Depth and inset
  • Frame Depth and Inset
  • Casing Overlap (needs to be negative)

The biggest downsides are that the window doesn't actually get a framed wrap using this method so you might want to downsize your windows to account for this.  Pick your poison I suppose.  The alternatives take a lot longer.

Of the three things you mentioned, I adjusted the frame depth.  Visually it looks fine, on the plan view it does show a line in between each window.  I bet if I adjust the Overlap it'll get rid of it.  Thx
