Window Question: MU units with no space?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to create a multiple unit casement window. I use the "W1 Casement MU" for this, but I want a "tight mull" meaning no spacer between the windows. I want the frames to be tight together. If I put zero inches in the spacer gap window, it comes up with an error. I've just put 1/16" there before to fix this, but I'm wondering if there's another way...

You would have to amend the GDL code.
Instead of 1/16", you can enter .0001" if you want, it will read as 0, yet shouldn't affect dimensions it's so small.
You could also ask your reseller for the Modular Joinery Object. Do a search here if you want to find out more.

I don't know a thing about GDL. Maybe if I'm having trouble falling asleep some night I'll read a little about it.

I'll look into the "modular joinery object." Quite a lengthy discussion... again, maybe a topic for falling asleep to.

Just joking, I've been looking for a good set of windows.
