Forced center vertical mulled windows

[jtcapa1]

I want to stop Chief Architect from putting in a mullion or casing trim when I pull two windows close together.

I would like it to look like the real world condition when there is no exterior casing, and siding between.

Chief will automatically put trim in when they get within 7" of each other!! 

Maybe I am missing a setting?

Chief will automatically mull windows and doors when they have the same bottom elevation, the interior trim overlaps, and neither has an arched or shaped bottom.

 

You have a few options for preventing the automatic mull.

1. Remove the interior trim and use a molding polyline. Note: this takes the most work, but will give the best result.
2. Offset the bottom of one of them a little: 0.000001" should do the trick.
3. Slope the bottom of one of them a little: 0.000001" should do the trick. Note: this will prevent a sill.

 

Note: the fact that exterior trim overlaps are not considered when automatically mulling windows and doors is a bug.

Thanks Jacob.  It is a decent work-around.

I would suggest we need a few more tools in the window specification dialog box.

This one is in a growing list of previous requests.

Where do you suggest we post our desires so the team can add them into the magic black box?

Looks like you figured it out.

 

This also lists a few other options.
