CENTERED RESIDENTIAL WINDOW

Command to center a residential window in a wall. The window can be of any size (wall length allowing) and may be one of several window types.

User configurable options:

Window appearance - See Customizing Residential Window Blocks
Minimum framing distance on each side of window
Draw window headers?
Draw wall sill lines below if wall is thicker than window?
Draw demolition Lines? Select layers to treat as "existing walls"

See Window Commands in the Floor Plan Cmds section of the APS Configuration Utility.

Layers:

If you are using "No Layer Control" the window, wall beyond lines, demo lines, and/or header lines (if any) will be inserted/drawn on whatever layer is current. See the Layer Control section of the APS Configuration Utility.

The default layer type for the window is "Windows", the default layer type for sill lines is "Finishes", the default layer type for demolition lines (if any) is "Demolition", and the default layer type for header lines (if any) is "Headers".
- If you are using "Direct Layer Assignment" the layer names are assigned to these layer types in the Layer assignments portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.
- If you are using "Layer Schemes" the layer names are assigned to these layer types in the Assigning Layer Names to Layer Types portion of the SCHEMEDIT command.
The layer types for this command can be changed in the Assigning Layer Types to Commands portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.

Known limitations:

This command will only insert a window in walls constructed of lines, polylines, and/or mlines.
Submit a limitation not listed.

Alternate uses:

None reported. If you have an alternate use for this command submit it here.

Select base point on which to center residential window or <Enter>/<Space> for MID2PT:

If the center of the wall can be found by using the midpoint of one of the wall lines, select the midpoint of that wall line now. The midpoint snap is added to your running object snaps if it is not already being used. If the base point location cannot be found using one of the standard object snaps press <Enter> or <Space> and use the MID2PT option which can locate the base point midway between any two points selected.

Select a point outside the wall lines to place the residential window in:

Select the point.

Select a second point crossing all of the lines that make up the wall:

Select the second point of the crossing line that crosses the lines/plines/mlines that make up the wall. The following dialog will appear:

The maximum window size is displayed at the top of the dialog (the max width shown above is 6'-9"). This distance reflects any minimum framing widths that have been set up. (See Window Commands in the Floor Plan Cmds section of the APS Configuration Utility) If the window size that you need to enter is larger than the "Maximum window size" shown at the top it is possible to override the minimum framing requirements and insert a window size that is equal to the full length of the wall.

Enter the desired size for the window. Note: the buttons show feet and inch values ie: 4 / 0 means 4'-0" not 40".

Next select the window type from the buttons at the bottom.

-- The walls will be broken now and any sill lines, header lines, and/or demo lines will be drawn --

Select a point on the exterior side:

Select a point on the exterior side of the wall.
