9.3.2.1. Place door/window from wall corner

With this command you can install the door/window in several ways:

• graphically on the floor plan,

• at a given distance from one wall endpoint on the floor plan,

• at a given distance from one wall endpoint by repeat on the floor plan,

• graphically in 3D view.

Installing by graphically on the floor plan

• Select the wall where you would like to place a door/window.

When you move the mouse pointer, the program indicates the distance of window endpoints from wall endpoints. The window can be moved by the set snap spacing.

With this method you can define the place of the door/window graphically.

• Before you insert a door/window, press TAB so that you can switch the reference axis of the door/window. Thus by selecting the other corner point as reference axis, moving by snap in direction also takes place in relation to the other corner point of the wall.

• If You click on the MIRRORING keyword, the program will mirror the openings on the wall.

• Use the keyword if for example You clicked on the external side of the wall to place the window, because the external size is available.  In this case You have to mirror the window to be- it’s floor plan symbol (1:20 scale), the scale of openings, the opening direction of the casements in the 3D model, or in case of reveal window the place of the reveal -in the right place.

• Place also graphical the opening.

• In case of door click on the placed opening to set the proper opening direction.

EnterFinish opening direction selecting.

EnterFinish the command.

Installing by a given distance on the floor plan

• Select a wall where you would like to place a door/window.

• When you move the mouse pointer, the program indicates the distance of window endpoints from wall endpoints.

• Pressing TAB, the reference axis of the door/window can be changed, if needed.

• By clicking MIRROR the program mirrors the door/window on the wall.
  

• Instead of inserting the door/window graphically, enter the distance between the reference axis of the door/window and the wall corner point.

If the reference axis is on the axis of the door/window, the program records the distance from the wall endpoint closer to the click.

If the reference axis is a corner point of the door/window, the distance is measured from that wall corner point between which and the reference axis the wall section does not contain the door/window to be inserted.

• EnterFinishes selecting the direction.

• EnterCompletes the command.

Installing on the floor plan with repeat:

• Select the wall.

• Select the REPEAT keyword.

• Enter the number of copies: e.g. 4. Enter.

Enter the distance between the doors/windows: e.g. 1.

• Enter the distance from the selected wall node: e.g. 2 m.

• In the case of doors, click on the installed door to set the appropriate opening direction.

• EnterFinishes selecting the direction.

• EnterCompletes the command.

2When installing a door/window, a message may warn you if it is outside of the wall, or intersects other elements. When using the REPEAT keyword, the program inserts only that number of doors/windows for which there is enough room without intersecting other elements.

2When you insert a door/window with repeat, the program uses the reference axis set in the Door/window properties dialog box.
