How To Make A Curtain Wall Or Screened In Porch?

[4hotshoez]

I would like to have a 2"x4" multi-framed grid with out a sash. What works well in Chief?

Thank you for the link Eric.

I just model it with solids and assign all wood parts to a layer called Screened Porch Framing.  I have done screened porch framing all in Sketchup and then imported the whole shebang into Chief as a symbol, but that was before I realized I could do it just as fast in Chief.

 

The screen can be modeled as a solid, too, and textured with screening image, if you want some 3D render semi-photorealism.

I mulled windows together after modifying the sash frame and trim to create a 2" x 4" frame. Made the frame 1" thick and the casing to 2" wide each side. Set the spacing between to "0". The sash was reduced to 1/2" profile and made the glass material to screen material. It worked better than expected.
