So with that I created them all as wall hosted Windows\/Doors:<\/p>\n

<\/a>Internal Partition Systems & Doors<\/p><\/div>\n
Each System has numerous options that are controlled with simply Yes\/No checkboxes. \u00a0Validation is done in the back end to ensure there are no illegal combinations. \u00a0These include Options for:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Shadowlines<\/li>\n
- Full Height<\/li>\n
- Head\/Sill<\/li>\n
- Materials<\/li>\n
- Left\/Right Joiners (for when you have 1 window hard up against another)<\/li>\n
- Corner Options<\/li>\n
- Number of Panels (for butt glass panels)<\/li>\n
- All ANZRS Door Parameter controls for Size (all formula driven so you only set the panel size)<\/li>\n
- Doors have additional options for:\n
- \n
- Timber or Aluminium Panels<\/li>\n
- Grilles (including size options)<\/li>\n
- Vision Panels (including size options)<\/li>\n
- Mid Rails (including size options)<\/li>\n
- Wide Stiles<\/li>\n
- Guide and Track Options<\/li>\n
- Flush\/Pelmet Head Options<\/li>\n
- Side or Top Fixing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Wall Types have:\n
- \n
- Built in Skirtings<\/li>\n
- Built in Reveals for Shadowlines<\/li>\n
- Built in Ceiling Channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Of course all the parameter fields have been populated, materials have been created for the 200 colours options available for Anodising and Powdercoating.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
There are also a series of Face and Cavity sliders. These are designed to suit partitions of particular sizes. \u00a0EG: A stud of 90\/92mm with a single layer of 10\/13mm plasterboard either side. \u00a0As such I’ve built in validation into the door so it detects the finish and core thicknesses, if it isn’t with the tolerance a warning message is displayed in plan. \u00a0This required some trickery as if you don’t do it a certain way the door would break when there was no finish to one side. \u00a0Technically that’s correct, but the end user may assume the door is broken, so instead I allowed it to be placed and just provided the warning message.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Of course in Plan\/Elevation we have appropriate Coarse\/Medium\/Fine detail so the documentation is clear and readable. \u00a0With consistent symbology. \u00a0 At Coarse level we only see simply box sections for frames and single lines for the panes.<\/p>\n
I’ve done my best to keep file size to a minimum, but given the number of options available there were some limitations to how small I could keep things. \u00a0Considering a single door can do so much it probably does what it would take 10 normal doors to do. \u00a0If the average door is 450KB, that equates to 4.2MB. \u00a0These Doors range from 400KB to 1.1MB maximum I’d say that’s a reasonable achievement.<\/p>\n
Finally type catalogs have been created with all the most common sizes and configurations so you can easily select which configuration you want without the need to touch the parameters…<\/p>\n

Ever wanted some internal glazing and partitioning systems for Revit? \u00a0That’s what I’ve been working on lately for another manufacturer who sees the value of BIM and supplying high quality Revit content for their customers. This one had me tossing … Continue reading
