Can I edit the Softplan Andersen Window database to accurately display the values for Opening Area and Glazing Area correctly for Andersen Windows?
I use Andersen 400 Series windows, and the Softplan Window Schedule populates with opening area of 14.9 Sq. Ft for a 3046 DH. The Andersen specs show the opening area as 5.82 Sq. Ft.
Likewise for the Glass Area, Softplan shows 11.1 Sq. Ft. and Andersen says 10.31.
I have not checked the entire Andersen window list, but will now whenever I use an Andersen Window from the Softplan library.
Nobody needs to have the Building Dept reject a plan or worse because the RES Check or Egress openings are not accurately stated.
Additionally, is there a way to add other information to the database, such as Net Clear Opening Height, Net Clear Opening Width, and Vent Area? I have to show those values on the plans for just about every building department in this area.
It would also be helpful if the "Opening Area" was re-labeled as "Net Clear Opening", as that is what determines (in part) if a window qualifies as egress or not.
