Window/symbol Creation Question

[HumbleChief]

I want to create a custom symbol and use it as a window but when I shape the window in 2d CAD (see attached) I don't get the option to create a slab or molding polyline, only an option to create a spline. Is this shape simply not going to happen? Options?

I think I know what's happening. I created the shape in a CAD detail not in a plan - doh - that should work.

More importantly, is that a wicked cool looking floating analog clock?

That's a Chief Symbol I created using their new animated 3D symbol device. Took me 2 years to get it to tell the correct time more than twice a day. Or was it a 'gadget' I added from Win 7 - can't remember.

Even more importantly I have created my symbol and it looks like crap.

 

 

Here's the 2 plans that are creating the mess. Want to inset the window and cut the stucco around the window symbol.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

I am puzzled as to why you don't just use a good old Chief window with a Tudor arch. The lattice work can be made with custom muntins.

 

I have posted how to create custom windows in the past, should be on the old forum.

Thanks for the suggestion. Forgot Chief had a tudor arch. Oh well I didn't need that half hour anyway.
