Working on my first plusspec project, a two-story accessory dwelling unit. I just tried to insert my first window and immediately on opening the new window dialog box I get a “red error” in Construction with window height tagged. When I try to make an insert, a magenta line attaches to the end of my cursor and just floats around the image without allowing an insert. My wall type is framing with EFIS. I’ve added a 1/2" cavity and “filled” it with some sheathing that I copied from my floor layer. Any ideas.
ps. in general my layers and scenes are a mess also as I’m trying to get some better control over my model than what seems to be provided out of the box.
The reason you got a “red error” in your dialogue box is because you either have your header height larger than the wall height or your window height is larger than your header height.
The magenta line is meant to be there and if you click on the wall with the magenta line you will see that the magenta line appears on the wall and another appears, select another point and you will see the window appear.
I would advise to not touch layers and scenes until you completely understand them. They are set up the way they are for a reason, if you have better ideas you can experiment but I wouldn’t experiment with a project, I would experiment in a new test file until I find exactly what I want and then apply to my project model. Please also email us your layers and scene set up and we could even implement it as normal in our software potentially.
