    Thanks Guys,

    I read the new user guides. Noted!!!

    What I am trying to achieve is to have a bay window in the corner of the room that extends from floor level to fascia level.

    They have a brick veneer wall up to 350mm with brick sills then windows up to the fascia.

    The windows have no external walls between them only mullions.

    Basically I want to know how I can stop the wall at 350mm and join the windows with mullions.

    I will check the other suggestions tonight.

    Try this to see if it works for you.


    The 1st thing to do: tool bar Edit / default settings / plan / check 'casing ignored'.

    I experimented and found out that for some reason glass shower walls allow windows to be placed closer to end walls?

    Draw a temporary short wall, open the wall spec, choose 'glass shower' (upper wall type if you used a pony wall) and change the thickness to 6.5" (oops...typo on the 2d pic).
    This keeps the walls at the same thickness they need to be (as exterior walls).

    Select each diagonal wall and change the upper wall to 'glass shower 7' which now miraculously appears in the wall type choices.

    Expand all the windows as far as allowed. Sometimes they will mull together as needed, other times not. It might take a lot of playing around to get things sized just right.

    Next, add corner board trim (tool bar BUILD / trim / corner board) inside and outside to cover up any gaps that allow the see-thru glass wall to show. It may be necessary to resize the corner board trim.
