Why are windows clipping?

I am very excited about the new alt-place windows/doors update, but playing with it a little I honestly don't see the point. If I do try to alt-place a window, it clips with the doors and windows around it, so I just have to place it on the grid anyway. Windows also clip if they are placed adjacent to one another on the half grid slots, so even then it is difficult to find a use. I was really excited about this update but right now I'm just finding it frustrating; this seems like something that wouldn't be left in the game, and its really getting in the way of my builds.

Is this a problem with the update, or a glitch in my game? Thank you so much!

    You can only place one window or door per tile.  Even though we have freedom of placement now, we are still unable to do two windows on one tile, thus the clipping.

    I do not work for EA or sims but if I understand the meshing system it is in the Alpha layer of the windows that are clipping. In older stuff ( older items have bigger footprints those green  tile boxes you see is a bounding box. aka the alpha layer ), and this may change with newer items or updates over time I hope. I probably explained my thoughts poorly but I think that is why.
