Alaskan_Son Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 One of the easiest methods is to simply use a normal Fixture Symbol set to Inserts Into Wall and then adjust the Wall Cutout Polyline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not finding this to work, as it does not allow me to adjust the wall cut out poly line. The other issue is, there is not frame, and it does not insert all the way through the wall, unless I set the glass to sit, on the inside finish layer.

rgardner Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Same idea as Michael gives but just used the standard window shaped it to how I wanted the triangle then used the "Convert selected to Symbol" tool and created a fixture that inserts into wall, changed to window layer and include in schedule as a window, and in x13 used the Windows labels layer for the "set custom layer" option.

How did you get the shape of that bottom window? I am not able to get the bottom side of the triangle. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention but when you create the new symbol you will want to rotate the window in the Y axis 180 degrees so it is pointing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
