More Options on Opening Schedule

Our Opening Schedule for hollow metal products has more entries offering more options on every line item. We now offer specification of different faces, profiles, anchoring methods, wall conditions, and sections for all four standard framing components – typically the head, hinge jamb, inactive hinge jamb for single swing and strike jamb for pairs, and sills.

Frame, window and door assemblies will adapt as necessary to reflect these settings, so every master definition can be used in many different contexts.

Of course, every component in a more complicated assembly with an arbitrary number of parts can have these settings changed in the assembly variant screen.

Expanded Anchor Definitions

This document explains the expansion of Anchor definitions.  Anchors may now be associated with any stick (component) in an elevation (frame).  Default anchor assignments can be made at the elevation master level.  Overrides can be made at the elevation variant and order form line item levels.

The order form used to allow anchor assignments for the hinge and strike or inactive hinge jamb.  Now it also provides for defining anchors for the Head and Sill.
