Al_Zyma Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Ive recently upgraded from ADT3.3 to ADT2005. Im having problems working out why windows Ive added to a wall dont make an opening in the wall for themselves, these windows are inside the wall and therefore will not display when shaded or taken into Viz & rendered.

bytor Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Al, Sounds like the wall is not recognizing the window style. If it is a style from 3.3 that you have carried over - try re-creating it natively in 2005. Also - sometimes if walls have cleanup issues they are fussy about recognizing door and window objects towards the wall ends. Another option is to create an extruded solid or mass element the size of the opening you want to cut and adding it as a "subtractive" interference condition. If you keep these solids/mass elements on a seperate layer - you can then freeze the layer and easily choose not to bring it into VIZ when linking your file.

Al_Zyma Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks HTH, Yep u hit the nail on the head. Brought in a wall style I'd created in 3.3 and windows now recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
