kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I want to run a single transom over the top of a door with sidelights. Is it possible to remove the bottom casing of the transom and top casing of the lower door/sidelights so that the transom jamb sits directly on the lower sections (as would be joined in the real world)? I've tried mulling and it doesn't appear to remove this overlapping casing. Thanks, Kevin CA_Bowers_08-08-19.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Also, when we specify the width and height of the window unit, are we specifying the overall width/height including the jamb? If so, seems to work opposite of the doors. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Tried doing that and I still get the extra casing between the upper and lower. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Works for me also (I reduced the width of the transom by 1/2" so that the jambs and casing align): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks guys. I'll give it a go again. Did you mull all four units at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "sequence" is important as CA just doesn't like picking all of them at one time and trying to mull them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mull the sidelights to the door, then mull the transom to the prior group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks again. I got it to work. I am a bit confused on how CA mulls the units. If I have 3-34" wide window units side-by-side and I mull them, the overall measurement when mulled becomes 106" which is 4" more than 34 x 3 (102"). I assume the program is inserting framing members between the units. If I don't want this, what option do I disable or change? I saw a video online for X10 and there is a setting in the window dialog box for minimum separation. I can't find that in X11. Please advise.

kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Got it, thanks. I was looking under the individual window settings (not defaults)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're working through the trial and error approach that it takes to learn this behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 robdyck - precisely. I've only had the program for about a week now. So far, loving its capabilities. This is going to save me so much time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, sometimes it is a love-hate relationship, especially when it doesn't think like I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
