GeneDavis Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I did the splayed wall surround for a basement window in an ICF wall. Set the window depth to 4-9/16", created an outer ICF wall at 4-9/16" total thickness, an inner, broke walls and did the double wall work, did a molding for the splay, only have the molding as my interior casing, but I have an unwanted lintel or something that I cannot delete. In section view it is on the inside face of the wall and also against the outside face of the inner wall. File attached. It is in the floor 0 bedroom at plan top left.

solver Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Might be how Chief handles the enlarged option on the window. I used a Pass-Through on the right window without problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Your inner wall pass through has a lintel on it. Pull the wall inside the room so you can see what is going on. The lintel follows that wall. Click on the pass through and turn off the lintel. They you can move it back into place against the outer wall.

GeneDavis Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 I cannot get the inner wall in a position to see and click its pass-thru for editing. In plan view, I select the inner wall, move it 12" x-direction to get it in the room, and it shows no pass-thru. What's the trick? And Eric, how did you get your result?

javatom Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Copy the inner wall and paste it inside the room. Then the pass through will be there and you can delete the lintel from the pass through. Then move the copied inner wall back into place against the outer wall.

solver Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 When you use the Enlarged option, Chief places a Pass-Through in the inner wall to make the hole. You cannot select the Pass-Through unless you move the wall like JT said. If you place the Pass-Through manually like I did above, you can select and adjust as required.

javatom Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 It is adding the lintel because that is how your defaults are set. You could change the default and the lintel will not generate but then you would have to manually change the rest of the windows to have it turned back on.
