What's going on with my Cladding/ window intersection ?

Hello all,

I've placed a few free form windows ( using the freeform tool, found in the GDL object depository ) and have successfully got the results I want. Now the reason I used this tool was because prior to this, I used the curtain wall tool and manually added the walls, this caused problems with the CADimage wall accessories tool. The new wall is one full wall, with 3 windows but when I place the cladding the following happens ( see attached )

Part of the cladding around window has been cut out but the majority has not. I've tried using SEO but it won't pick up the window as either target or operator... but this shouldn't be needed anyway since the cadimage tool does it all for you.


Thank you.

I would try using the cadimage door and window builder for your openings

I've managed to get around it, by using the original walls and manually altering the cladding.

The cadimage window builder looks like it will be perfect for next time though !

Thanks
