General

Framing Configuration may be found in two locations:

or:

Opening Framing

Settings for framing Windows and other Openings.

Settings for Window – Window Join Framing.

Window, or 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 roof.

Window Framing

Window Framing – settings for framing single windows.

Opening Framing

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

Window – Window Join Framing

Window – Window Join Framing – settings for framing joined windows. Window – window join settings are saved under a separate name and they can be adjusted for different join sizes (From – To).

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 – writes opening framing configuration name.

FM Module Mark – writes Framing Member Mark + Mark (from Roof) + Mark (from Opening).

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 framing configuration name, FM Module Mark parameter contains Framng Member Mark parameter value + current roof Mark value (can be seen near FM HostMemberSortMark) + current window Mark.

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