Dermot Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 You really don't need a library symbol unless you need them to show the center support rail in the frame. Just select "louvered" for the shutter type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 You should be able to do that as part of the window. Go to the Shutters panel on the window dbx and have a look. PS. Ah, Dermot just beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdd Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 arghhh, im still having problems. how did you get the reversed curve to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Parametric shutters will follow the shape of the window they are attached to. In your case, it looks like you have two windows (my example only had one). You may be able to get the results you want by blocking the windows to create a mulled unit, then specify a round top arch for the unit, and then turn the shutters on for the unit. For any case that you want to have shutters that do not follow the shape of the window, you would have to create a custom shutter symbol that has the shape that you want.

BlackDiamond Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Ditto on this question except my windows aren't arched... they are flat topped but want the arched shutters. How do I accomplish that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I accomplish that? It will not do it parametrically if the window is not that shape. If you want those style shutters on a square smaller window then you will need to create a symbol for the shutters. Several ways to do that.
