Dennis_Gavin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There was a lot of information on methods to do this in the old thread. Does anyone remember what worked the best? I think one was a thinner wall with the window and then PS to fill in on the sides. I think another was custom casing. Not sure if the thinner wall was used in both. Anyone remember or have a link??

Alaskan_Son Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Do you have a picture to illustrate what you're talking about? I"m not sure I follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 picture now attached to original post. I can do it with a narrow wall and polyline solids but that is a lot of steps for each window. Plus I need the sill and apron.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think I remember that thread. Was the solution to use symbols applied as "blinds" or some such. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamlinBC Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I can get it with one wall and the use of four p-line solids... Not sure if it's what you want or not...but looks somewhat right. -Made my window 12" wider than I wanted. -Removed exterior and interior casing -Turned on the interior sill -Turned off frame -Inset my sash something like 1 1/2" -Made the sides of my sash 6" wider than normal -Drew a curved polyline solid for the inside, and just a plain polyline solid box for the outside -Adjusted them to fit the height -Copy and paste-hold the solids -Reflected about the center of my window I also attached my plan so you can dissect it...

HamlinBC Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Now that I think about it....if you're drawing the exterior polyline solids to fill in for the extra-wide sash, you wouldn't need to inset the sash at all.

Dennis_Gavin Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 jon - Yes that si what I was thinking. Jonathan-will have a look Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 OK, so I have settled on thinner wall sections and PS fills. Now I cannot get a window to move. IF you look at the plan one window is off center and I cannot get it to move even though there is room for it to do so. I think I am losing it. Edit - If I copied the existing window and placed it into the thinner wall section no can move. However if I put in a new one from the library it centers fine. Weird......

DRAWZILLA Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I know Scott has several video's on this , check his YouTube channel. We did it with a double wall system but forgot exactly how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Dennis, Here is a link to a post on the old Forum that takes up this subject. In it, Bill Emery posted a plan with his method for accomplishing what I believe you are looking to do. http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?64641-How-To-Create-a-Deep-inset-Window-With-a-Stucco-Wrap/page2&highlight=drywall+wraps And here is a link to a similar discussion on this Forum (with a link back back to the old Forum). https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4465-unique-door-and-window-trim/ Hope this helps.

Dennis_Gavin Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 OK - I have all the problems solved using just window components, narrower wall and 1 polyline solid. Best I can come up with. Miller.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Emery Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Dennis, I've taken a little different approach to the problem. I've used a double wall and have placed a window in the outside wall. I then placed a pass though window on the inside wall, and centered on the window in the outer wall. I can maintain an unbroken wall in this way. I've used a deep sill in the outer window, and have added the rounded portion of the opening using "shutters" in the shape of a quarter round. They are mostly adjusted in the window DBX. The round is a millwork symbol with a -12" Y offset. The window pair can be copied around the plan, and resized as necessary. The window pair can also be added to the library. Dennis Gavin's window.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks Bill, I'll have a look. I was thinking after I wrapped up the day yesterday that maybe a railing wall section with the cap adjusted would do a similar thing. But it would require creating that wall portion for each window section. I think yours may be the best approach in allowing copy and paste. Thanks!
