marland393 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Muntins in this arch top, triple casement are not aligning. I get this same result if I use the lites selection in the window, and also if I draw lines, make CAD blocks (three seperate), and load custom muntins. When it loads the muntins, CA stretches the cad blocks to fit causing the center one to mis-align... Help? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 A bug I guess cos CA divides the height evenly in each section ,perhaps make the top curved part separate ? ie 3 rectangular windows with a arched transom above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marland393 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I am hoping to fix the muntins, not change the window shapes. I am struggling with CA's automatic drawing features today when it is trying to be really smart and not just drawing what I think I am asking it to draw... I also have a couple of random slivers of OSB shooting out from the house that I can't source and delete... I'll post that as a new topic...

Dennis_Gavin Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 THe only thing I can think of as a work around is to have the middle window without grids, block 3 units, make arch and then use molding polylines to create the look of the grids. Place them where you want and re-block them with the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place them where you want and re-block them with the unit. That's how I do it. Sometimes for cabinetry glass doors I need a different grid layout than the one generated by Chief. Make up my own and float into place. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marland393 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 With a little more trial-and-error method I finally got it to align (close enough). I followed suggestions by Dennis and had the two side windows lites created in the window specification. Then I drew muntin lines AND a top arch over the top sash/frame member, made one CAD block for the center window, and did the "Load Custom Muntins" button. After adjusting the line placement several times, I am happy with this alignment and moving on... Thanks for responding to my post with suggestions! Have a great day!
