How do I set a Window Assembly to be flush to the outside of a Wall? I'm expecting an embarrassingly simple answer, but I really cannot figure this. the infills and the mullions move out 7-1/16", but the two frame elements just will not be moved.
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer. What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window. Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.
I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.
In AutoCAD Architecture 2012: when we insert standard windows in the wall, we usually get a wall break. After changing window size to small (2’ high), this wall break disappears in the plan, but still have it on isometric or perspective view.

Is there a system variable or setting that could cause this?
How to reposition window within wall? i have a window put into my basement wall with footing as shown. unfortunately, the window aligns on the symmetry line of footing itself (as i believe the footing is taken as the overall wall thickness). i want the window to be aligned on the wall/cavity thickness only.
i prefer to have it default in this window or wall style rather than playing around with anchors and other ,,reposition tools'' for each and single window in my basement plan.
we just recently went from 2008 to 2010 Autocad Architecture. the windows from a 2008 file had the windows in the smart walls and would trim the wall... however, i opened the file in 2010 and all the windows are showing up, but not trimming the smart wall.

I'm trying to send a set of drawings for my consultant. They will be using it as a background for their mechanical and electrical drawings and they only need the 2d information. They want to be able to explode them and remove any items they don't need before switching all the layer colours to grey.
When they get the drawings and explode them the doors and walls explode onto the correct layer but the colour of those object and lines are now set to the actual color of the layer rather than colour "bylayer". The line actually take on the colour of the layer in the properties dialogue box. Therefore when they change the colour of the layer to grey the doors remain 'red'.
I would like the doors/walls to stay on their respective layers...AND their colour to be BYLAYER when exploded.
In Autocad Architectural 2012 if I typed 'wall' I would get several options for walls. If I selected 'A' (add) it would bring up the properties panel and draw the necessary walls. This does not work in Architectural 2013. Where to I access the wall/window/door pallet?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I have two parts as occurrences in an assembly, how can I programatically constraint two workplanes (one from each part) to a flush constraint.
My problem is that I can get the Occurrences, say ...
CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pTube1Occ = ...
CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pTube2Occ = ...
...but I don't know how to delve into these two pointers to get hold of two named workplanes within them. I'd then pass the two workplanes (somehow?!) to the AddFlushConstraint function.
get_SurfaceBodies doesn't seem right and neither does get_SubOccurrences.
Mostly I create door/window assemblies from an elevation sketch. I make sure that the DW tool on the tool palette has all the attributes I want for the new DW. Problem is that most times the attributes do not travel across to the new DW. I have a double hinged frameless door that I want as an override assignment.
And although the infill panel style has been defined in the DW style, when I use the infill panel override assignment, the double door style is not available from the drop down box. I have copied and assigned the DW to a new style, saved - closed - opened the drawing, but the double door style is still not available in the drop down box.
I am using the RetainWallVertical subassembly with a created gutter subassembly attached to the wall and a DaylightGeneral subassembly attached to the gutter assembly. My cut slope parameter is set to hold at 1.5:1. I would like to use a target (feature line or alignment) to daylight to and have the wall height adjust accordingly. Problem, I am not able to use a target other than a surface for daylighting. I can use my existing ground surface, which I am daylighting too, but I can't adjust the target point.

I am looking for an example autocad drawing of the connection between a window and a wall. In other words, a drawing which shows how the window is attached to the wall.
Does not matter what kind of window, materials etc.
I know there is a command for making a hole on a wall or a facade without compromising the finishes on the wall.
eg:i have a wall now drawn out, with all the details of the wall done, but i realise now have to make a window out of the wall i have hatched, but i do not want to create a rec and trim it. as i may have to change the window position again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to snap to the end of the linework that form the visual end or intersection of walls while grip dragging a wall of one style to another. For example, using a wallstyle as a countertop, I'd be able to drag it to the corner of a room and use object snap to the intersection. In ACA 2012, the object snap defaults to the justification plane of the wall even if that's not where the intersection snap is desired.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI quite often like to use the wall grips to adjust the length of a wall. This works really well accept for the occasional situation were I want to snap to the face of another wall rather than the justification line. I know that I can snap to the face of a wall rather than the justification line because I have some files that it works fine in and other files that it does not work in.

When I open the file in ACA2011 I can not execute the wall tool. This is the message received:

My boss wants me to make the most outside line of a walltype to be the heaviest pen. If I go to the properties of the wall and changethe boundary it changes the boundary of the item in the wall, each boundary independentfrom the other. Such as a wall made of the following: BRICK, AIR SPACE, SHEATHING,STUD AND GYPSUM BOARD. In this wall theexterior face of the brick and gypsum board need to be heavy.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhave trouble moving doors or windows within a wall?
I am trying to move a door so that the door is flush with a face of wall. The prompts in acad do not match the instructions.
For instance; select door, okay. then from anchor panel select 'reposition within wall', okay a red line appears and prompt to 'select position on the opening'. okay so i click the face or side of door jamb then select a reference point. (guide says select point to measure to) and on and on. Door never moves.
it should be; select door, select reposition in wall, select reference point (interior, exterior, midpoint), select the desired location. Done.
Instead it is select this that and the other , measure from here, select, click.click click.

I have multiple wall types within a drawing but scheduling produces multiple entries per type depending on length, only grouping them together when lengths are identical. All I need is a total length per wall type within the drawing.
I've been having an issue with autocad architecture 2013. For some reason it won't let me create a wall. I can click it but it doesn't want to actually create anything. It just gives me the selection tool. I downloaded the service pack and still doesn't work.
