Phasing
We've fixed an issue where lines for frame and panels were hidden when host wall has "Phase Created: Existing".
Instead of the simple opening tool, this family uses various voids for the wall opening, to provide features like rough distance, render offsets, and taper reveals. This causes issues in the following scenarios:
- When placing the same window (copied instance or newly loaded) in the exact same place with different creation and demolition phases.
- When wall opening lines are hidden and host wall has "Phase Created: Existing", and window has "Phase Created: New Construction" (usually used in renovation).
Solutions for these scenarios are now described in the updated manual.
