Add openings

Last modified by Linus Karlsson on 2024/02/21 18:47

The doors and windows are added to the original element in Revit. The command for adding openings will automatically change the 'Parts Visibility' to 'Show Original' if it is not the case from start. 

Start the plan view for 'Level 1'.

Go to IMPACT - Elements - Draw Opening

In the external reference, you can find the opening definitions. Start with selecting the 'FD2' definition for the Sandwich walls. Make sure that the checkbox for the label is checked. This will add annotation text to the drawing which opening that is added. The 'Mounted in factory' and 'Frieze' can be skipped.

The door should be added to the element in the lower left corner of the building.

Continue with adding the other openings to the sandwich and solid walls. 

If an opening need to be changed/deleted or moved, use the edit command found in IMPACT - Elements - Edit Opening.
