Edit flush panel garage door

[laurenMBVM7]

I opened the flush panel garage hoping to add windows to the face of the panels, when I add the frame and glass, they are not hosting to the face of the flush panel but more center of the frame of the garage door. On the ref level on the garage door, it looks correct, just not rendering right. How can I fix this?

I would create a panel with windows and swap out your top panel out for this panel with windows.

smart! do you know if the panel is in the library to edit or did you just draw a new panel?

Here's a head start for you.  

See attached.

Windows are fully parametric.

I made a new panel and still floats off the front, what am I doing wrong?

[barthbradley]

I don't see anything wrong with it.  I did correct one issue though. See attached revised RFA.

[barthbradley]

Actually, you have other issues.  The panel and the windows are not constrained properly.  Open and exam the family I did for you earlier (message #11).

How can I make the panel have 4 windows for the 16' version?

[laurenMBVM7]

how can I edit the 16' panel to have 4 windows?

[laurenMBVM7]

the panel doesn't want to expand and I made the 16' panel, just can't insert it correctly

[barthbradley]

Like I said above, use the family I originally sent you that is in message number 11.

I don't understand how to edit the 16' door as when I open it to edit the 8' door appears. I need 2 windows on the 8' and 4 on the 16'. Can you help me understand how to edit one part of the family?

I would suggest placing two 8'-0" 2-window Panels next to each other or creating another panel with 4 windows.  You could get there with one panel family that would create windows, but it would require a great deal of work using arrays and formulas. Is it really that necessary?  You really only need 2 Families. One for an 8'-0" Windowed Panel and one for a 16'-0 Windowed Panel.  Right?
