create window object at the same time as walls that host it

[lallo]

I would like to know what would be the best approach to creating a family window a little particular, that is a family window that should wash the main wall that houses it create from level to level of the side walls and fronts and in turn insert the window on this last side wall, with a window that goes to cover both the secondary and the main wall. I hope with the image to better illustrate the problem. going to the general family of the window I don't find how to insert the secondary walls but only solids to which later I can not accommodate the window itself. a greeting and thanks for any answers.

the families are of different "structure": the walls are families of default, while the windows are part of a family customizable by the user. you can not make families of walls, but only change (personalize) the types present in the default walls.

what you want to achieve is a "drinking": the carateristic windows "sporty" to English.

to maintain all the characteristics that are own of the families, the secondary walls and the "contour" suns of the window you must perform them using the families walls/ floors default directly in the project, and then insert the "normal" window on the "outside" wall. possibly the walls of "contour" can be flattened to avoid shifts from the final position.

If you want to make a specific family, you must make a family of windows allocated with a parameter of "offset" from the main wall, with a "empty" (subtraction) that manages the hole on the same main wall, hooked to the size of the window, or with autonomous parameters. Of course, the secondary walls must be made as "solid mass" (extrusions) autonomous, with relative parameters of material.
in this case, the "secondary hards" do not have the properties of the walls

hello grfrank, thank you very much for your useful advice! I managed to create the specific family with the secondary walls as solid masses (see attached image) as you actually see it was an internal window! Hello and thank you again!

I apologize if I break you but I have not found the solution in the different discussions and not wanting to open a new discussion I ask for an opinion.
I had to draw a building with masonry of different thicknesses and sleeps I thought to use "wall mass" but I wonder why it appears transparent and then it is not possible to wash it with doors and windows?
Thank you in advance :finger:

Are you sure there are no two walls, one dense to the other?

 

[gfrank]

if sure of the selected category?
You assigned the material to the wall?

Thanks, guys. .
and no the wall is only one and I followed all the steps (ke probably canno), no does not give me the material. But I think it's right and I think I'm going to try to beat the horns against the video in the end.
