builtright3 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I’m trying to create an accurate store front window system. If I do three separate windows, then the middle mullions are not 2" like the rest of the frame. If I do one window with three lights then all the mullions don’t show up on the floor plan Not sure how to make this work. Any help would be appreciated.

builtright3 Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 If I over lap the units then it changes the look on the floor plan. Might be able to live with that if there is nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Is your window separation set to 0"? There are other ways to do this as well , pretty sure I posted on this about a year ago, Using Walltypes and the Framing, I'll see if I can find it....

Too bad we can’t size the left and right side frame separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Still looking but believe it was Aug. 2021 I posted about this where I used a Walltype..... M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKEdmo Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Here's an idea. I think this came from one of Eric Solver's previous posts. 3 fixed windows units: Sashes turned off. Frames on and set to 2" wide. End units have 2" wide frames all around. Middle unit(s) has frame side width set to 0". When you mull together, looks good in elevation: and plan: I think kind of fussy, but maybe pretty good method. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Yes, I played around with that and its not a bad idea but still doesnt give me what I want. Thank you for trying. I think this is one of those times Im just not going to get it perfect and I have to accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JoeC has a suggestion for this too, and I know in 2021 I used the Framing in a Wall Definition ( Black or White Metal) to imitate this but thinking about it, I thought it would be easier perhaps with Railings, and std. Walls, setup to look like a Store Front, with Glass Panels and the Railing Height set to equal the Room Ceiling Height.... The Plan File: MHD_Store Front Test Plan.plan Mick.

builtright3 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Thank you, Definitely have more control over the frame work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
