You may want to create your own style of windows based upon the standard styles found in the catalogue.
The window catalogue can be viewed in several ways:
1. Using the Window dialog activated by right clicking on the Window icon in the tool bar.
Here you can browse the catalogue, change sizes and window component details. You can then save these details to be the new default for that specific window.
2. Double clicking on a placed window in a plan will also activate the Window dialog
3. Use the Catalog tab to browse through the catalogue. The same windows viewed via the Windows dialog can be found in the Window construction folder.
You can drag the windows onto a wall in your 2D plan or 3D View. Further editing of the window is then possible by double clicking the placed window.
4. Using the Windows file explorer you can navigate to the folder where these windows are located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Building Basic 4\AEC\WindowConstructions
These are the files as installed.
You can copy these .con files and rename the new .con file.
Using method 4, you can create a new file, and locate it using the Window dialog using method 1 or 2. Change the windows properties and save them using the Set default. The changes will only affect the copy and not the original window.
Each window has multiple properties that can be edited, however advanced editing and new style windows can only be achieved using the Window Construction Editor, available in Visual Building Premium. Any version can use the windows created with the Window Construction Editor- just copy the .con files to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Building Basic 4\AEC\WindowConstructions
