Re: Create my own 2D symbol furniture set
In this thread dorin explains how he created his 2D symbol library. Also read my remarks in this thread because the Furniture Library Editor now has features that avoid the need for manual editing of files.

Re: Create my own 2D symbol furniture set
I'm not sure what the cause is of this. I can only guess that it is the result of the topview with sashes. Basically a 2D symbol is an image applied to the top of an invisible box. The lines for the sashes are very thin, so thin that they might get lost resulting in a white square. As I said, I'm just guessing here. Like other 2D symbols the image set as the plan icon should show in your 2D view.
Check the image, set it as the texture on the top of a normal box and see how it shows in your 2D view. What you see there is what your 2D symbol should look like. (Make sure you have set your preferences for "Room rendering in plan" to "Floor color or texture" and "Furniture icons in plan" to "Top view".)

Not sure where to set "Room rendering in plan" to "Floor color or texture" and "Furniture icons in plan" to "Top view". I can´t see it under preferences.

Re: Create my own 2D symbol furniture set
Don't check the "Door or window" checkbox. It's a 2D symbol, not a door or window. Compare the settings to other 2D symbols and make sure that besides the width and depth everything else is the same.

It's the SH3D preferences NOT the FLE preferences. About the doors and/or windows 2D representation. As you could see I've not made a 2D Symbol for that because the SH3D have it by default. Truth is not exactly how I want but... So, my suggestion in this case, is to add to your library few 3D doors and widows with your custom representation of sashes. You will have to manually edit for each one. I've seen you've already have set
for a double door or window probably you will have the desire result.
