Custom Muntin Question

Does anybody know why the load CAD block / custom muntin tool you use on window lites does not build the custom muntins to the centerline of the linework?  Is there a workaround for this or am I doing something wrong?  Pics below.

 

Thanks, Jim

After loading CAD block to window:

I did a quick experiment. While my cad block lines were exactly drawn corner to corner, I got similar unexpected results at each corner for the relationship between the center of the line and the center of the muntin. Upon inspection, I can see that for these muntins, the cad lines represent the top edge of the muntin. So, I can adjust the cad lines to move to the top edge and re-load the muntin.

Thanks Robert for looking at this.  I sent this in yesterday to tech support.  To me it seems like it should just build to the centerline.  If Chief has a follow-up, I'll post the reply.

Follow-up to this...

 

Chief responded and said they would review:

 

Hi Jim,

Thank you for contacting Chief Architect Support.

I tested it a bit myself, and it does look like custom muntins load in a bit inconsistently based on their position/angle. I'll go ahead and report this to our developers, and let you know what they say, or whether this is something they end up needing to fix.
