Window Profiles are driving me MAD!!

[AFK_Matrix]

Ok been using AutoCAD/ADT for nearly 10 years from Revision 14 but these profiles in ADT are driving me mad, they are just so inflexible!!!

 

Ok I need to creat a window that is a double Sash window, I then need to go on to create single sash window profiles.

 

Now I have attached a simple 2d drawing of the window, the blue lines have to be voids for the windows the rest are details of the window frame.

 

Everytime I create a Profile in Style manager and do set from then select the polylines etc the window I apply the style to disapears from the Isometric view but it is still there its just not understanding the new profile. Is there anyway to create a window as in my attached file, I really don't want to have to create the damn thing manually as this is for a block of flats with like 60 odd windows

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Dear Mad,

 

I'm not sure I fully understand your problem, but have you tried Window Assemblies as another way of creating a double-sash window? This gives great flexibility with regards to frames, mullions and the sashes themselves in that: 1) The outside frames can be dimensioned separately from the mullion 2) the mullion can dimensioned separately from the frames 3) the widow sashes are independent from the frame and mullions. Additionally, you can apply a frame or mullion profile so that they can accurately represent the actual look of the window (as far as you want to go). The fill regions (2 in this case) bounded by the frames and mullion are set to use a window style (i.e. double hung window without a frame as the style) and as you change the assembly dimensions, the sashes will change accordingly.
