Opaque Glass Problem - Vector View

Recommended Posts

Good morning,

 

This one has me stumped.  I have one patio slider whose glazing shows transparent even though I have the opaque window glass option enabled under Vector View.  All other glazed windows / doors appear opaque.

 

I had this happen in a previous project and now it's happened once again.  Bug?

 

Plan attached.  Any thoughts appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

I ran into this just the other day!

It's happening because the window in technically inside on an interior wall because of the adjacent room that was created for the stairwell into the basement.

It all has to do with the Room Function that that particular stairwell room has assigned to it. Most rooms are defined as interior and only a few are defined as exterior. If you change the stairwell room to say a Porch the window will render correctly. You'll then need to manually delete the floor structure and finishes to get it back to the open below look.

 

Here is a screen shot from the Help section on Room Functions

Thanks!  Sounds like a bug to me, right?  I think I'll send it into tech support and see what they have to say.
