Window Sash - below cut plane

Anonymous
Not applicable

Is there a way to remove the extra sash lines which, in plan, are meant to represent the sash below the cut plane? I want to keep the sash "nub" at adjacent to the frame, but remove the lines which run parallel to the glass.

See attached pdf for detail of what I'm referring to.

Set the window sash width and depth to 0 in the window style.

Just realized, you want to leave the piece I removed in place.  You might have to create a custom block to do this.  Not sure you can hide a piece of it.

 

Also, your thread would be better suited in the autocad architecture section.

I think you're right about needing to create a custom block, though I doubt I'll actually do that. No sash is better than making a bunch of custom window blocks when the autocad ones work so well (minus this small issue).

 

For the record, I attached a revised sketch showing what I was looking to do

Try this.

Took me about 2 minutes.

 

Custom blocks are easy, still a smart window too.  Easy to customize.

 

let me know if you need any help, I can probably help you some more.

You, my friend, have made my day.

After a few quick edits for layering/size, this works perfectly!
I never really used custom block display before, but I'll definitely be experimenting more with it after this

Thanks again

Thanks for the kudos and accepted answer! It made me turn "mentor" 😛

 

yeah, the blocks are super easy, the hardest part is getting them to use the right insertion points and lining up right.

 

I've for a couple for custom storefront and curtainwall systems.  Some that I can but up against each other too (so I don't need to use a window system with adjoining mullions).

 

Just need to make sure you adjust your frame thickness, and then appropriate set items to "inside" and "outside" of frame in the custom block settings.

 

good luck!
