How do change the default for exterior trim to be "on" as opposed to "off"?

[Jon Davis]

Go to system options, material dimensions, opening trim options and set it to whatever you want...

Allen,

 

I think you have to go to the openings in your library and put a check mark to include exterior trim.

Change one window to have trim and "Repeat Edit" or "Repeat Edit Box". Goes pretty quick to change a whole house.

^ The only downside I've found with that, is it applied the trim to your exterior doors as well, and if you have a specific bottom trim, it will apply it to doors, and then

your softlist count will be wrong, and it will look funny in elevation view.

 

I usually insert and fix one window, then just copy that window each time I need another one.

Im good there Phil.  I was referring to my library of windows that are lacking exterior trim.....Going in and editing each one.  So that when i bring them in it is already applied.
