WindowFrameTool

It has never been easier to draw a window frame and place it in a wall. Draw a window frame on the floor plan using the Rectangle tool. Create a fill by drawing lines on the floor plan, start the function, and you're done!

Then use the buttons in the toolbar or the right mouse button to place the window frame on the wall, then click again to place it “in” the wall.

Frame filling

By default, the window frame is drawn with mullions, transoms and a glass filling. However, you can also add a window, door, or panel to the window frame. Draw your window frame on the floor plan. Click on the “Create a new window” tool and then right-click on one of the openings in the window frame. Next, choose which of the following components you want to place in the window frame and confirm by clicking on the window frame where the component should be placed:

Frame filling settings

Click on the “Settings” icon to open the settings menu. Here you can adjust the frame settings and the dimensions of windows, doors, and panels. With the “Reset” button, you can reset the values to the default settings.

Frame settings

Use the WindowFrameTool to determine how the window frame should be placed in the wall. By default, the window frame is placed in the center with the Offset = -1 value. If you want to place a window frame with a specific offset, enter the value you need to place the window frame in the correct position in the wall. 

It is also possible to change the window frame design. To do this, place the window frame flat on the floor again. Right-click on the window frame and select the option “Adjust window frame design.” Then adjust the layout and create a new window frame. Because the function automatically creates a new component in the library, the previously designed window frame can be replaced in no time.
