When you have multiple floor windows (stairwells, great rooms, etc.), what is the best method to set up the windows so they display correctly in 3-D?  When I set them with an offset for a window that crosses through the floor level (such as in a stairwell), I am able to see the exterior wall material through part of the glass area from the other floor.

Thanks, I didn't think about it coming from the upper floor - always tried from the lower floor.  Thanks!

I'd bring the window from the upper floor with a negative offset, but I wouldn't offset the wall. I'd use a cross opening in the wall below, the same as with a garage door. That way you can also dimension to the window on the lower floor plan even though it isn't actually there.
