windows created from the style. The window style also determines the window
shape and the window type:
â– The window shape determines the geometry of the window frame, such
as rectangular, half round, and arch. You can also create custom window
shapes from profiles.
â– The window type determines the number of panels and the method of
opening the window, such as glider, pass-through, hopper, or picture.
You can also define standard sizes in a window style and then select the size
you want to use when you place the window in a drawing.
Anchoring Windows
After a window is placed in a wall or door and window assembly, the window
is constrained to the object and cannot move outside it.
Windows can also be anchored to specific locations in walls or door and
window assemblies that when the wall or door and window assembly moves
or changes size, the location of the window in that object stays constant.
Window Dimensions
Some window dimensions depend on the window shape and type specified
in the window style.
Rise is the height from the top of the rectangular portion of a window to the
peak of the window opening for Gothic, Arch, and Peak Pentagon window
shapes.
Vertical Alignment of Windows
To control how you place the window in the wall, the location of the working
point vertically in the wall, and how the window responds to modifications
in height, use the vertical alignment settings. To determine the working point
on the window, use the threshold and head height settings. You can place
the working point at the sill or at the head.
The threshold height is maintained. For example, if you specify the vertical
alignment as 0'' and the window height as 7'–0'', the window opening height
is 7’–0''. If you next specify the height of the window as 6'–8'', the window
threshold remains at 0'' and the window opening height becomes 6’–8''.
The window head work point is maintained. For example, if you specify the
vertical alignment as 7'–0'' and the window height as 7'–0'', the window
