Benzarch Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Can anyone tell me how to trim out a window like the image below ? I cannot figure out how to have multiple trims around a window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Make a molding profile and use it for your lintel for the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Here is a brief description. I used a crown profile from Chief and combined it with the other profile I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 It's a "fairly" simple task to get the right look for side casings and lintels once you are familiar with the program, but we aren't discussing anything about the sill. I wish CA would do some work with their exterior (and interior) windowsills. There should be some type of setting for sill thickness, slope angle and whether there is a "subsill" or not for the exterior sill. Also, show me an actual window that has a window stool attach to the bottom of a window frame like the way CA places a sill (stool} on the inside of a window. They (CA) have been "building" their windows like this since "day one" and it's about time they make it right! I can't believe this doesn't bother anyone else. Sorry about the rant. I "need" my morning coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_Sweeney Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Yes, that's how I do it now, but it would be great if this could be "built in" to the window specifications. When you have thirty or more windows of different sizes in a project it can be a PTA. This not only true for the exterior sill, but also the interior window stool. I wish I could understand where CA came up with the size and shape of the windowsill and stool that is built into the program now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
