Opening Data Presented in the Sheet
Opening sheets are created on the sheet templates defined in the
settings, see Window and Door Sheet
Settings. The sheet shows the following information:
- The sheet indicates the total number of identical
openings in the active drawing-model pair.
- The code, dimensions and other parameters of the opening
are read from the opening library.
- Handedness of the opening. In the libraries included in
the basic software delivery, the opening models are always
right-handed. If you mirror an opening, it becomes left-handed.
Exceptions:
- Mirroring does not affect openings that have been defined to be
symmetrical. By default, all opening types are asymmetrical. You
can set an opening to be symmetrical by adding the additional
parameter ASYM=0 to its library data. See Edit the Window or Door
Library.
- If an opening direction for the opening has been added with an
accessory, the handedness is not presented. Instead, the opening
direction is shown as a symbol in the drawing of the opening. See
Window and Door
Accessories.
- Accessories you may have defined for the opening, such
as the opening type, color, selective glass, safety glass etc. See
Window and Door
Accessories.
- The opening drawing is presented as a part detail on the
sheet, and you can add dimensions to it in the same manner as a
normal drawing. The dimensions can also be added automatically to
the opening sheet, see Automatic
Dimensioning of Window and Door Sheets.
- A number of fitting symbols appear over the part detail
that you can add to the opening drawing as follows:
- Select a fitting with the cursor.
- Press Ctrl+C.
- Press Ctrl+V.
- Position the fitting in the opening drawing.
- An opening sheet to be exported into the DesignStream system
only presents the geometry of the opening. The other data is added
in the DesignStream system.
Note
- If the opening has been edited in the project, its geometry is
loaded to the sheet from the project. Otherwise, the geometry is
loaded from the library.
- If you want to select a reference point from the fitting
symbol, use the context-sensitive menu function Copy:
- Select a fitting with the cursor.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Copy.
- Select a reference point from the fitting symbol.
- Point the location of the symbol.
- You can delete a fitting symbol you have added as follows:
- Select a fitting with the cursor.
- Press Delete.
- Close the sheet by clicking the Close button of the drawing window. If necessary,
save the changes by clicking Yes in a message box. Select a folder
and type a file name in the Windows Save As dialog box.
