A couple of questions on this actually.  First question, can these only be fixed, I am assuming so.  2nd, should this be considered one unit, the schedule calls out two.  3rd, how is this framed?  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Show us your idea of a corner window

Hey gents..  I guess I didn't phrase my question correctly.  I know what a corner window is, and I have it in the model already, just like that link shows.  My question is how do I frame it, in a detail (more curious how one frames these esp. at the corner.  And in the real world, is this a one unit fixture, and if so, should my schedule have this as one window.. because right now its shows as two.

Doing it on first floor with second floor over is a little easier, because you can put some beef into the floorframe rims to do what's needed, but there is some good info here.

 

I just did a search in my browser for "header framing over a corner window."
