High Glass Window Display

[PitMan71]

What is the best way to display low and high windows in a wall when they are different sizes? Seems like I have seen something on this, but I can't find it.

Thanks

If the higher window is wider, I will place it on it's own layer so that I have line control. If this higher window cuts the wall's main layer (where there would still be some framing below), I will fill those areas in with CAD polylines with a lighter fill.

I place these windows on their own layer because this provides line style control which is too limited if you use the vertical stacking option.

Because we have more than just the plan view to convey the structure, I really don't worry too much about if it's perfectly clear at a glance. It's not too much to ask the plan's readers to look at every drawing in the plan set, and even to think a bit:)

Here's a recent example:

Have you had a play with the Vertical Stacking setting in the window dbx.

On the Options panel.
