ACADuser Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have single windows that CA will make the shutters but on Mulled window I seem to be out of luck. Trying to create psolids is a real PITA so is the best route Sketch-Up? If Sketch-Up it means that i need a shutter for each size I plan to use correct? PS the louver lines I created with CAD lines & don't show up except for section views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 There are some in the Library. Type "shutters" in the search box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermot Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 "...but on Mulled window I seem to be out of luck." Why? You can add shutters to mulled units. The arch can be a bit tricky. If you make the top window an arched window and then mull them, the mulled shutters will be rectangular instead of arched. If you make the top window rectangular and then make the mulled unit archted, the mulled unit will build the correct shape for the arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes BUT My shutters are decorative and not intended to cover the windows. The generated shutters are too wide. Can you control the shutter width? Just built some in SketchUp. I have to relearn SketchUp every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 "Can you control the shutter width?" Of course you can. I would recommend that you spend a little more time learning Chief and a lot less time using Sketchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl_C_Crane Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Alan, It's under the Shutters Tab of the Mulled Unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Oh, thanks. And I agree, SketchUp is a last resort. I guess I missed the Mulled approach as I had un-mulled them to resize the main windows & forgot to re-mull them. That's when got square shutters & went off in a frenzy to sketchup. Just trying to get work out the door. Who has so much time in the day that they can read the manuals. And my wife has said no working on the computer after dark, that's her time!

ACADuser Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 OK, looking good for the new shutters. Can I edit the arch window without un-mulling the unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well here is the snag, Using the ARCH setting the the DBX to adjust the shutters I lose the mulls in the Arch window. Have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
