acerman Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 Attached is screen shot of window wall design I am working with. The top windows are 54"x30" picture units or 5430FX. But Homedesigner Pro is displaying a "border frame" (grey colored area) that reduces the actual glass width size to 50-13/16" vs the spec of 54" and the glass height from 30" to 26-5/8" What is the grey area? AND why does the plan view show the window label to be 4626FX for window spec of 54" wide by 30" tall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerman Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 For another window in my design, I specified double hung 36"x 48" size. The plan view displays 3040DH. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerman Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Another question. The lower window is a picture unit 54"x58". The display label is 46410FX? I don't understand the labeling code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerman Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Thanks for clarifying the code. I guess I had a mental block staring right at the screen....LOL. I still don't have an explanation for the grey border on the window display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-g-m-n Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 Open up window Edit Dialogue box thingy. Could be FRAME. PLay wth it to see. Seems HD PRo thinks all windows are made from Wood As it is difficult to model aluminum or Vinyl windows very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 Or check the materials and be sure the exterior ones are all set to the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerman Posted January 5, 2024 Author Share Posted January 5, 2024 Tried to do the frame change - had no effect. These are vinyl windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerman Posted January 5, 2024 Author Share Posted January 5, 2024 I took your advise and experimented line by line. Turns out the grey area was a "sash". Not all picture (fixed) windows have a sash. The specs for the brand vinyl windows I am using list a glass size and a frame size. If I remove the "sash" in HD Pro, then the window size will match my spec sheet. Thanks again for your timely response and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
