Arch Window/de

Beschreibung
The Window is a base object for all kinds of "embeddable" objects, such as windows, doors, etc... It is designed to be either independent, or "hosted" inside another component such as a wall. It has its own geometry, that can be made of several solid components (the window frame, or inner panels for example), and also defines a volume to be subtracted to host objects, in order to create an opening.

Window objects are based on closed 2D objects, such as Draft Rectangles or Sketches, that are used to define their inner components. The base 2D object must therefore contain several closed wires, that can be combined to form filled panels (one wire) or frames (several wires).

The window tool features several presets, that allow to create full doors or windows from a list of parameters, without the need to create the base 2D objects and components manually. But windows can also be created fro scratch, by drawing a base 2D object first.



In obenstehendem Bild wird ein Fenster auf Grundlage eines Rechtecks definiert und in eine Wand eingefügt. Das Hinzufügen eines Fensters zu einer Wand erzeugt automatisch einen passenden Wanddurchbruch in derselben.



Das obenstehende Bild demonstriert den komplexeren Konstruktionsprozess eines Fensters auf Grundlage einer Skizze. Im Editiermodus können verschiedene Komponenten erzeugt und deren Eigenschaften, wie z.B. Dicke, angepasst, sowie Kantenzüge der Skizze zum Fenster hinzugefügt werden.

Eine Voreinstellung verwenden

 * 1) Optionally, select an Arch object. If no object is selected, the window will be inserted in the object under the mouse when placing the window.
 * 2) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 3) Select one of the presets in the list
 * 4) Fill out the desired parameters
 * 5) Press the OK button

Erzeugung von Anfang an

 * 1) Optionally, select a face on the Arch object where you want the window to be incuded
 * 2) Switch to the Sketcher Workbench
 * 3) Create a new sketch
 * 4) Draw one or more closed wires
 * 5) Close the sketch
 * 6) Switch back to the Arch Workbench
 * 7) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 8) Enter Edit mode by double-clicking the window in the tree view, to adjust the window components

Voreinstellungen
The following presets are available:

Teilkomponenten
Windows can include 2 types of components: panels and frames. Panels are made from one closed wire, which gets extruded, while frames are made from 2 or more closed wire, where each one is extruded, then the smaller ones are subtracted from the biggest one. You can access, create, modify and delete components of a window in edit mode (double-click the window in the Tree view). The components have the following properties:


 * Name: A name for the component
 * Type: The type of component. Can be "Frame", "Glass panel", "Solid panel" or "Louvres"
 * Wires: A comma-separated list of wires the component is based on
 * Thickness: The extrusion thickness of the component
 * Offset: The distance between the component and its base 2D wire(s)



Optionen

 * Windows share the common properties and behaviours of all Arch Components
 * If the Auto-includecheckbox on the Window creation task panel is unchecked, the window won't be inserted into any host object on creation.
 * Add a selected window to a wall by selecting both, then pressing the button.
 * Remove a selected window from a wall by selecting the window, then pressing the button.
 * When using presets, it is often convenient to turn the "Near" Draft Snap on, so you can snap your window to an existing face.
 * The hole created by a window in its host object is determined by two properties: Hole Depth and Hole Wire . The Hole Wire number can be picked in the 3D view from the window's task panel available when double-clicking the window in the tree view

Türen
Türen können mit dem Fenster-Werkzeug ebenso einfach erzeugt werden, indem die Basis des inneren Kantenzuges mit dem äußeren Kantenzug wie im Bild unten verbunden wird.



Eigenschaften

 * : The height of this window
 * : The width of this window
 * : The depth of the hole created by this window in its host object
 * : The number of the wire from the base object that is used to create a hole in the host object of this window. This value can be set graphically when double-clicking the window in the tree view. Setting a value of 0 will make the window automatically pick its biggest wire for the hole.
 * : A list of strings (5 strings per component, setting the component options above)
 * : If any of the components is set to "Louvres", this property defines the size of the louvre elements
 * : If any of the components is set to "Louvres", this property defines the spacing between the louvre elements

Scripting
Das Fenster-Werkzeug kann sowohl in Makros als auch aus der Python-Konsole heraus mittels folgender Funktion angesprochen werden:


 * ezeugt ein Fenster auf Basis des gegebenen Objektes
