Hi,

I have created a series of window families with nested sub-windows, in order to create runs of windows and be able to easily schedule the structural opening of the run.  Everything is, at last, working as it should, apart from that now I'm looking at the schedule and the sill heights of all the nested sub-components are completely wrong.

Any thoughts?  I've attached a screenshot of the offending schedule, along with the families in question.

I don't believe the nested windows will report this.  If these are really seperate windows, then this is a case where grouping would be a better solution.  If they are mulled togeter windows then they might be treated as one instance.
