Thank you very much. i'm starting to digging into that right now.

Hi! Am new to using Railclone. Finally after three weeks of scratching my head I did get the Parametric Window Tutorial. I am still to use it in a project yet but it was worth the time. Just wanted to understand how I can Add a Sub X evenly and a Sub Y evenly inside my existing Window without disturbing the outer frame.

Paul Roberts:
Hi!

Glad to hear you're making strides learning RailClone. Is that image your current window, or what you'd like to be able to achieve?

Many thanks,

Paul

ASD+Viz:
Hi Paul, This is what I want to achieve. I wish I was able to do this in Railclone. :) I am an Architect and this is the client reference but I do not know how to convert your sample window into this.

Paul Roberts:
Hi, please take a look at the attached sample file that uses several more modern techniques than the original tutorial, including

- Uses two generators, one for the frame, and one for the glazing
- Uses markers on the X and Y Spline to add the main frame divisions
- Uses nested generators to add the glazing inside the frame. To get the size we use the recently added XSectionAdjustedLength attribute
- Uses the segmentYRole macro to target where the evenly columns intersect with the sides and one another.

I hope it helps. It's quite an advanced style, so please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Paul
