### Opening Framing

Settings for framing **Windows**, **Doors**, and other **Openings**.

Settings for **Window – Window Join Framing** and **Window – Door Join Framing.**

Window, Door, 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 wall.

### Window Framing

### Preassembling

**Preassembled –** fills in information for framing elements (like kings, trimmers, sills, etc.) from the selected configuration.

The configuration can be later scheduled and separately displayed in shop drawings.

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

![](https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2FepiQnCV3ftXggAyACDhQ%2F15.jpeg?alt=media)

Fills in information for these parameters:

**FM Module Type**

For Windows, Doors, and Openings – writes opening type (Window, Door, Opening, JoinedOpening).

For Connections – writes join configuration name.

**FM Module Mark** – writes **FM Module Type** + **Mark** (from Wall) + **Mark** (from Window, Door or Opening) + unique number.

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

*Example:*

*King is included in the preassembly so **FM Module Type** parameter has Window value, because this King belongs to the window, **FM Module Mark** parameter contains **FM Module Type** parameter value (Window) + current wall **Mark** value (can be seen near **FM HostMemberSortMark**) + current window **Mark** + unique number.*

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