Architectural

Window and Door Sheets to a Local Project Archive

This function can be used to create graphical schedules for the windows and doors of a building. You can also add an opening list to a floor plan.

The program will collect windows and doors from every drawing-model pair of the building, and add sheet labels for them to the floor plan on a specific layer. The label format is as follows: PREFIX-NUMBER, for example, W-2. The prefix depends on the numbering system, which is defined in the settings, see Window and Door Sheet Settings. The number after the prefix is the same with identical windows, unless you have chosen to use individual numbering. The openings are numbered by wall chains, starting from the top left in the floor plan and proceeding clockwise.

The program creates an opening sheet for each different label. The sheets are saved under the project in the Opngs folder.

Create the opening sheets as follows:

  1. When you create the opening sheets for the first time, select Building Components > Window and Door Sheets. Later, you can recreate the opening sheets by using the same function, or you can select the function in the project document browser:
    1. Select Project Document Browser.
    2. Move the cursor on the title Architectural Documents / Openings.
    3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
    4. Select Window and Door Sheets.
  2. Select the labels, sheets and schedules to be updated in the Window and Door Sheets dialog box.

  3. Confirm by clicking OK.
  4. You can open a sheet by using the function Open a Window or Door Sheet, or by double-clicking a sheet name in the project document browser. You can open the summary sheet by using the function File > Open > Open File.

If the walls of the building are paneled and the panel drawings have been created, the program will prompt you to update the panel drawings once the opening sheet labels have been added. The program will always prompt you to update the panel drawings upon changes to the opening sheet labels. Select either of the following:
