Hey guys and gals, in certain situations CA can automatically develop a shutter style as shown below in red. How can we do this manually?

You would need to create a custom shutter and apply it by using Library  as the shutter Type

You can turn off the window casings and then create a pass-thru opening for the exterior casing and shutters. I would initially create the pass-thru next to the windows and then center the pass-thru with the two windows. The shutters will match the arch of the pass-thru.

Looks like you have a PC setup like mine. How do you like the Alienware X15 w/ CA X14?

It is a great laptop. I just set it to quiet mode and it handles chief architect x15 and twinmotion at the same time.

You shouldn't need to create overlapping openings in most situations. If you manually mull the two windows and arch the mulled unit, you can add shutters to the mulled unit and the shutters will arch. If you want automatic radial lites, you'll have to arch the mulled unit and the component window.

You need to do this if the parametric styles aren't what you want.

I opened the attached plan in x15 and it doesn't show arched shutters. I am also unable to make them arched in the way described.

It's actually an X12 plan. I assumed it worked the same in X15, but didn't check. I'll have to look into that.

 

Edit: as long as you don't need automatic radial lites, removing the arch from the component will let you arch the mulled unit.

Weird. This file initially caused the program to go haywire and it tried to download a file that I had archived. It then froze and I had to force close the program. 

I restarted chief and the file opened normally, but the shutters showed as in the picture I attached.
