SH_Canada Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 customer initially volunteered to leave as is and he would specify when ordering, so I took him up on that offer after finding out I had to put together a mulled unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Not exactly what you want, but you can do this sort of thing in the window dbx with Lites to give you a look alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lite option above looks like a good for now approach, but I would have to change the description to show casement on the schedule to avoid an accidental interpretation from the window guy if he gets confused on what the customer really wants and what the plans say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Something like this? This is a 5026 Fixed on top set to level 1, a 2626 Fixed left side bottom set to level 0, and a 2626C on the right set to level 0 as well. Mull the lower two together first then mull that and the top one together second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A mulled unit of any kind, when shown in the window schedule, will not call out the types or sizes of individual units that are joined into one mulled unit. It's up to you to do whatever necessary to ensure the window supplier gets it right. Usually text in the comments can do it. Maybe like this: "Fixed casement 66" w. x 30" h. over fixed casement 33" w. x 30" h. and operable casement 33" w. x 30" h." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mull the lower two together first then mull that and the top one together second. i was actually thinking the lower would be a double casement with one side as opening, and then mull top (which would be fixed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH_Canada Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 @glennw also a good setting to know to call out the casement in a mulled unit, might be a little confusing as it then shows as three separate line items. Showing comments would then be crucial, otherwise a schedule given to the window guy would result in 3 different windows, I would speculate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_Canada Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 soooo, how does one adjust the width of a window within a mulled unit? joey indicated to hit the tab key. so i did this to move from the mulled unit to the window, but then the width is greyed out. see below The problem is I want a 77wide unit total with 16" single hung on the sides, but if I create a 45" picture for the middle, and mull all three I get a 81" mulled unit, 4" difference. I could go back and unmull and resize my picture, but it would be nice if I could resize the picture within the mulled unit thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un-mull it - open dbx change - re- mull them. Set Window separation to 0" as well in Defaults otherwise you will have a 2" ( 1 stud) gap between window ( and Doors) so they won't bump tight.

But now that it is at zero, as long as do the math correctly I should get it right the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
