Geyatautsilvsgi Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi, I have a question. Has anyone ever made a casement window in chief with "prairie" style windows? In all my years of working with chief, I have never been able to do it in chief automatically or naturally. I have always had to fake it in the 2D detail or elevation views. It works great with a single hung or double hung window but not with a casement because the entire window section is operable not just one half like the SH/DH windows. IF anyone has ever made one, I would definitely like to know how. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Definitely need some clarification on this one. Probably best to post an image of what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no, the casement window itself has to be or look like a big "prairie" window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Carrick, This is almost spot on. the top three sections would need to be much larger and extend to at least half of the window. This is really close.

GeneDavis Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Looks like craftsman pattern to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geyatautsilvsgi Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 The attached window is the style she wants in her casements. In real life this can be done as a custom job. However, in chief, I have found that this canonly be achieved by using a single hung or double hung window. I have not been able to get this to work in a casement. thus the reason for my question. As I said, the one that Mr. Carrick posted is close only need to take up at least half the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Craftsman style grids and set Lites Across to 3 and Lites Vertical to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geyatautsilvsgi Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is a prairie style window, Crafts man is like the one that Eric posted previously. As I said, I am not sure that the client understands which style she wants. I've tried to explain the difference but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geyatautsilvsgi Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 So, its not really a "prairie" window at all but the craftsman. I've switched to using the craftsman style on the casement and it worked. That is nice. Thanks gentlemen for your assistance. I appreciate it. Have a fantastic rest of your day.
