    Default Window cills?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I'm currently learning myself on architecture revit 2012.

    have got the hang of it pretty quickly and i'm knocking out models pretty quick but the only real problem i've encountered so far is window cills.

    Can't seem to find the option to use concrete cills when im putting a window on a wall. Can't find anything on it. This is probably a really silly question but any help would help a lot, thanks

    Try changing your search criteria to "sill" which is the correct way of spelling the word.

    You wouldn't be using a brick and CMU cavity wall would you?

    Are you utilizing a brick and CMU cavity wall in your building construction?

    yes. doing a brick cavity wall. looking to put a precast concrete sill with the window. On the old autocad the sill used to come when you placed the window. was just a case of clicking the box if you wanted to use one or not.
