Dennis_Gavin Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Besides doing a molding polyline around the opening..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Are you talking about a mulled bay window that hangs on the wall or a bay with windows in it (as Chief defines them)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Chief's bay window selected from the window icon. Raised floor and lowered the ceiling but I don't like not having a jamb with casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What else would you have other than a jamb with casing? What you have shown is a site built bay window - which would involve installing 3 windows in framed openings. As Alaska mentioned, there are such things as pre-built bay and box windows that are, in themselves, a "window" of sorts. Is that what you want? Such as this from Pella: http://www.pella.com/windows/explore-window-styles/bay-bow.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 yes - looking to create it so it looks like a pre-built unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Dennis, Let me know what you need. If it's Pella, I have a whole bunch that I've predefined as "Custom Window Symbols" so I should be able to make it work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks Joe but I have done it with fillers and molding polyline. Just wanted to see if there was something I was overlooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Dennis , another way I used last time I did one of these was to Use the Pass Through , sized etc to fit "into the Bay" , you have to place the PT to the side at 1st , then drag it into the Bay Opening though.

Dennis_Gavin Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Mick - Good idea. Will keep that in mind........or at least TRY to! ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 General venting, trying to use this yesterday I don't think the bay, and bow units work very well at all. The exterior casings will not connect even with the no framing between command checked. I cannot resize the side windows to be big enough to connect to the center picture unit. Even with ignore casing for opening resize checked off. Hey Joe, how do/did you make custom units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun2Learn Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi. I agree with MPDesign and have had the same issues;-Chief's Bay windows don't work well if you want a pre-fab, mulled bay window. Joe Carrick, would you mind posting your bay window symbols in the symbols forum or a link here? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here's an example. There are almost 30 symbols in the set of Andersen Bay Windows. I created them using Chief Solids for the various pieces and sized them to fit. This particular Symbol was done as an Exterior Fixture and is used in concert with a "Pass-Thru". It could be converted to a "Custom Window" but since CA has not yet fixed the way the Custom Windows work, I have held off on doing that. It means the Window Schedule has to be "hacked" but otherwise it's easier than fighting with the Window Tool. Hopefully CA will fix the problems with the Custom Windows - introduced in X6 but never adequately finished. 45-P4035-20 Anersen Bay Window.calibz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 You can get the flankers to join if you use hold down the ctrl key and resize. If you use a small exterior casing it will close the siding gap. BUT they are a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wow Joe that is very generous of you! Thank you, will put to use since Anderson is right in the neighborhood! Dennis- I played around with the ctrl override, success! thank you for the reminder. cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wow Joe that is very generous of you! Thank you, will put to use since Anderson is right in the neighborhood! There is only one of the Andersen Windows in that attachment, not the entire set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chief's window , if you tab to select the individual window and then pull on the side handle , (sometimes takes a few tries) you can usually get the windows to join on the corners , once you have done all 3 windows it doesn't look too bad for most views though it could be nicer.
