How to Draw Windows Using Presets

Tutorial Video​

Steps​

  1. Open the BuildNow plugin and navigate to the Entity Creation section in the ribbon.
  2. Search for and select the Window entity option, then click the "+" button beside it to access Window Presets.
  3. Add a new window preset by entering the required details, such as window name, window height, and window type.
  4. Alternatively, use predefined presets if an existing window matches your requirements.
  5. Use either the Polyline or Rectangle tool next to the window preset to draw the window according to the reference in the drawing.
  6. Once the entity is created, a name label will automatically appear at its center.

Drawing Conventions​

  • Windows can be drawn between __BN_Room and the BUA Outline.
  • Windows can be drawn for __BN_StairCase and other room-type __BN_Accessory.
  • Windows can be drawn on the __BN_Parking polyline outline to provide ventilation for basement floors that are slightly above ground level.

Checkpoints​

  1. The segments on the window polyline must be coincident with the segments on the room and BUA outline polylines.
  2. Window polylines must not intersect with any other polylines. They should not have a shared area with any other polyline.
