Inserting Windows

The catalog contains a wide variety of windows for you to insert, including fixed, casement, double casement, hopper, awning, sliding, double-hung, single-hung, bay, bow and louvered windows.

You can point and click to insert a window anywhere in a wall, automatically center the window on the wall, or offset the window a specific distance from the end of the wall.

Windows are inserted at the Head Height defined for the building location you insert the window on. You can raise or lower a window after you have inserted it if you need to.

To insert a window:

1. Make sure the location you want to insert windows on is the current location in the building locations drop box.

2. Select Insert > Windows, or click the Windows button on the Building toolbar.

3. In the catalog, select the window you want to insert.

4. If you want the window to be automatically centered on the wall, right-click and select Center on wall. Go to step 6.

5. If you want to offset the window a specific distance from the end of the wall, right-click and select Enter insertion offset. Enter the offset distance in the Enter insertion offset dialog, then click OK.

6. Position the window in the receiving wall. If you are using an insertion offset, position the window close to the end you want to offset it from. The window will snap inside the wall. Dimensions are displayed that show you the distance on either side of the window.

7. With your window positioned where you want it, click to insert it.

8. Right-click and select Finish.
