3.The window selected must now be inserted into a wall. To do this, move the mouse onto the desired wall and click where you wish to insert the window. The left-hand shot is of a Round Window which has been inserted into a wall. |
To insert yet another wall element, simply press the F2 function key.
Whether dimensions and interactors are visible will always depend on the projection selected. In Top perspective, for instance, you will not be able to edit the Parapet height.
