now taken from the material definition, so you can no longer set
them directly in the display properties of the window style.

Using Custom Blocks to Create Window Components
You can add custom blocks for components, such as window hardware, to
the display components or to replace the default display components. For
example, you can replace a simple window frame with a custom window frame
containing shutters in which you want the custom component to appear. You
can have a different custom block for each display representation.
When you add a custom block, you can specify several rules for positioning
and scaling the new component. Each custom block also appears in the display
properties component list so that you can control its layer, color, and linetype.
For more information on adding custom blocks, see Adding Components to
a Window Style on page 1996.
If you create a custom block from mass elements, you can use the material
assignments of the mass elements to determine the display properties of the
custom block.
Be sure to set the properties of the objects used to create your custom blocks
to ByBlock. Otherwise, you cannot control these objects through the display
