just wanting to know if there is going to be a superior walls foundation basement added to the wall section
of the walls created?
Wall definitions are user definable so you should be able to get exactly what you require.
When finishing walls in basement, and studs and drywall are added in front of Block or concrete wall, that creates a
new wall thickness, anyway to adjust the depth of the opening for doors and windows?
Yes, it may be called opening offset, really a question for either our support department or user group.
do the barn door come with the hardware for he wall above?
yes
Would love to the see the deflection option on windows added to doors as well! Would save a tremendous amount of time on custom designs.
can screen doors be added to door openings in the same way you can with grilles or other components where that the screen swings out as dotted line?
Glad to see glazing added to the schedule. This will help with light amd vent schedules for the rooms in the house. Is there also one for clear opening area as this is also part of the light and vent schedule?
Great job on these! Looking forward to more flexibility with openings in a gable end, being able to have different color frames on openings from the exterior to interior (we do mostly clad exterior/wood interior in this area so this is wonderful!). The arrow showing the direction is great (always drew that in separate) as is the addition of the barn doors (had to make my own due to demand for them). Way to go guys and gals!!!
Really looking forward to these improvements. I think I’ve personally had to do work arounds with almost all of these items…mostly with 3D solids. Definitely going to save some time.
I like the added new features of the openings. I do have a question about sliding barn doors, are they stationary or do they act like a regular door where you can adjust the features like how much to show open or add molding and edit like a real door opening?
Thank you for answering my question.
