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

### 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.
