# Opening Framing – General

**Framing Configuration** may be found in two locations:

or:

### Opening Framing

Opening settings are saved under separate names and can be adjusted for different opening sizes (From – To).

Also, the software will recognize if the opening is inserted into a structural (bearing) or non-structural floor.

**Opening Framing** – settings for framing single openings, which are mostly used for Ducts, Pipes, or other MEP elements.

### Preassembling

**Preassembled –** fills in information for the framing elements (like trimming joists, headers, etc.) from the selected configuration. The configuration can later be scheduled and separately displayed in shop drawings.

**Opening Element Preassembled** – fills in information for the opening, which can be later scheduled and separately displayed in shop drawings.

Fills information into these parameters:

**FM Module Type**

For Openings – writes opening type.

For Connections – writes join configuration name.

**FM Module Mark** – writes **FM Module Type** + **Mark** (from Floor) + **Mark** (from Opening) + unique number.

**FM Module Preassembled –** writes Yes/No if element is (or is not) included in the preassembly.

*Example:*

*Header2 is included in the preassembly so **FM Module Type** parameter has Opening value, **FM Module Mark** parameter contains **FM Module Type** parameter value (Opening) + current floor **Mark** value (F-1, can be seen near **FM HostMemberSortMark**) + current window **Mark** + unique number.*

All these parameters can later be used in the schedules and view filters.
