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.

### 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.

Fills in information for these parameters:

**FM Module Type**

For Windows, Doors, and Openings – writes opening type.

For Connections – writes join configuration name.

**FM Module Mark** – writes **Framing Member Mark** + **Left** or **Right** + **Mark** (from Wall) + **Mark** (from Window, Door or Opening).

**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 Door value, because this King belongs to the door,*

***FM Module Mark** parameter contains **Framing Member Mark** parameter value + Right value + current wall **Mark** value (can be seen near **FM HostMemberSortMark**) + current door **Mark**.*

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