played around with the settings and searched the forum but did not seem to find how to create this type of window:

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

 

I'm curious why the hesitation to do something that could literally be done in a matter of seconds.

well I have to go search on how to do this type of unit, I assume a top fixed window and a lower casement window, and then mull the two together.

 

and the customer has been altering the window sizes 3 times in the last two days, and if I recall correctly from past experience, to alter the mulled unit you have to unmull.

 

once he finally. really finally, no really finally decides, then perhaps. the project has been going on since april, so a bit of a long haul.  

 

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

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.

That's an automatic $100 PITA charge

Nope, just hit the TAB key to get to individual units.

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."

i was actually thinking the lower would be a double casement with one side as opening, and then mull top (which would be fixed)

You can do it either or both ways.

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

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

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.

that did it thanks, in the windows default, under general

 

still a bit of a PITA as even if you do unmull you cannot resize the middle one bigger, until you move one of the other ones. But now that it is at zero, as long as do the math correctly I should get it right the first time
