VHampton Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 -Hi All, The attached window symbol was created using polyline solids. It appears in the library correctly and behaves as a window in plan view. The only problem is that the siding doesn't meet up the window frame. Am I missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Val Untitled 1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 No data in the plan. Be sure to quit the plan before zipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks Robert. I'll have to remember that in the future. It's attached correctly now...in both the initial post and here... Untitled 1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 When you created the window symbol, did you notice the Opening tab in the Symbol Specification dbx? It appears that this is what drives how the opening in the wall is cut. I'm not sure you can change this to fit your custom window shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this! I tried the reflected arch, but for some reason it wouldn't go the first time. I really appreciate it! All the best. Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 DJP I think the difference between yours and his ,is that he made a symbol and you used a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
