Nirvana Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I am using Home Designer Suite 2015. I have completed my main floor design and I'm starting to work on the basement. I have been successful in creating window wells and putting windows on basement walls. However, when I start putting up 4" interior walls over the basement/foundation walls, my windows get covered up. Is there something I can do with the window attributes to correct this problem? See attached image. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You might have to copy/paste the windows in to the interior wall or place a pass-through, depending on the look you're trying to achieve. Chief Premier has double wall options to handle doors/windows for this kind of scenario, but none of the Home Designer programs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvana Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I sort of stumbled onto that solution. I did put another window on the inside wall which appeared to do what I wanted. I also tried putting the window on the inside wall and then creating an opening on the outside wall, but that didn't work. I'll try the opposite. Otherwise, I'll just double up the windows. That's unfortunate that I would need Home Designer Pro to make a proper fix. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This issue came up last year but I am unsure if in Suite you can modify/Copy Wall definitions ? , if not the Window and Pass through on the inside is the only way ( use a Doorway for a Door) but here are the threads from last year, on altering the Wall definition way.... https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/430-basement-windows/#entry2310 https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/419-framing-not-showing-in-self-defined-wall/#entry2311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
