Windows & Door Constructions

Post by Steve86 »

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody can help me?
I have built a model defining glazing and doors as I go.
When I come to applying construction types, I want to apply a glazing construction to the doors as well.

I may be having a mad afternoon, and missing something....can anybody shed any light on this?

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

There is no way to apply glazing to a door element. We suggest you draw any glazed doors and windows and apply the appropriate Glazed Construction.

Hope this makes sense (and proves you're not going mad :? )

OK many thanks, to save time having to redefine all the doors as windows, is there a way of globally changing the doors to windows?

Thanks

I can't think of any quick way to switch your doors to windows I'm afraid. Hope it won't take too long to redraw them!

Thanks Phil,

I didnt think there was a way, although a pain, it only took Saturday morning, I would have been more dissapointed having worked Saturday and you had said there is a way!!

Perhaps an idea for a future release is to allow a glazing construction be applied to doors?
Although I wont make this mistake again!

Regards
