Window Style Palette

[PitMan71]

I recently upgraded to X17 from X16. I noticed that my style pallet for my windows that have the brick lintel and sill configured no longer work. It has reverted the style to default so I attempted to rebuild. I got it all set up again but the Style Palete will not retain either profile that I set. I changes it back to default after I save it. Anyway, having the pallete is huge time saver when doing brick homes. Would like to nail down what's going on and fix it.
Thanks

change your window default, so that when you change to your brick sill, it isnt default.

A style palette will only save as default if the setting you’re trying to store in the style palette is currently set as the active default.

To make this work correctly:

1. Change the sill on your window to something different.

2. Set that window to default.

3. Change the sill back to your brick option.

4. Then save it to the style palette.

This ensures the style palette recognizes the updated setting as the new default.

I tried all of this and it didn't work. Just defaults back to painted white lintel and nothing for the sill despite having set it as default. 

I will submit to tech support and see what they say.

thanks For all the assistance with this. I will update when I know more.

From Chief Support:

Hi Shane,

Thank you for contacting Chief Architect Technical Support.

This is a recently discovered issue with the style palette in X17 that we have been able to reproduce and verify. I have sent your report to our developers to look into. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have any real workaround for getting this to work with the style palette. You could possibly save a window you have created as a user library object for later use.

Kind Regards,
Brian
