Also, the software will recognize if the opening is inserted into a structural (bearing) or non-structural wall.

Window Framing

Window Framing – settings for framing single windows.

Door Framing

Door Framing – settings for framing single doors.

Opening Framing

Opening Framing – settings for framing single openings which are mostly used for Ducts, Pipes. or other MEP elements.

Window – Window Join Framing

Window – Window Join Framing – settings for framing joined windows. Window – window join settings are saved under a separate name and they can be adjusted for different join sizes (From – To).

Window – Door Join Framing

Window – Door Join Framing – settings for framing joined window and door. Window – door join settings are saved under a separate name and they can be adjusted for different join sizes (From – To).

Preassembling

Preassembled – fills in information for framing elements (like kings, trimmers, sills, etc.) from the selected configuration.

The configuration can be later scheduled and separately displayed in shop drawings.

Opening Element Preassembled – fills in information for window, door, or other opening, which can later be scheduled and separately displayed in shop drawings.

Fills in information for these parameters:

FM Module Type

For Windows, Doors, and Openings – writes opening type.

For Connections – writes join configuration name.

FM Module Mark – writes Framing Member Mark + Left or Right + Mark (from Wall) + Mark (from Window, Door or Opening).

FM Module Preassembled – writes Yes/No if element is (or is not) included in the preassembly.

Example:

King is included in the preassembly so FM Module Type parameter has Door value, because this King belongs to the door,

FM Module Mark parameter contains Framing Member Mark parameter value + Right value + current wall Mark value (can be seen near FM HostMemberSortMark) + current door Mark.

All these parameters can later be used in the schedules and view filters.
