For those of us who still draw elevations, I use the elevation openings and then add the window trim but I was wondering if there was any way that anyone knows about for adding window trim to multiple windows in a unit as one?

I agree.  While I try to get most of the windows correct prior to generating there are some specialty windows or if I have to make an adjustment that causes me to just line draw the trim.

I still draw elevations albeit they are generated from the model. In the model is where is add the window trim, grids, etc....

 

All I really have to do on the Elevations is add pertinent notes, some paint, and a few line clean ups. It saves a lot of time.....

 

Have you tried this method or are you drawing line elevations from scratch?

I just find it hard with my designs to quickly and efficiently create the generated elevations. I always end up with some parts that have sloped walls or arched areas or varying heights that end up taking more time for me to draw and then generate as opposed to just line drawing the elevation. I would love to get better at it where it does not take as much time but it just isn't there right now.
