To add a window

Click the Add Window icon.

The Trace window tool settings appear.

Select a Fabric type and enter values for Height and Sill height.

Activate the Fins option.

The fin assembly definitions drop-down list is activated. Fins constructions appearing on this list are created and managed using the Fin Manager.

Follow the prompts: Trace window > Select a room – Select a wall in the room you want to add the window to with a data point.

You are now in trace mode. AccuDraw is activated.

Trace window > Enter 1st point– Snap to one side of the window opening on your floor plan, or if you don't have a floor plan to reference, use AccuDraw to position the pointer relative to the room boundaries. Enter a data point to define the start location of the window.

A dimension appears with one end attached to the first point and AccuDraw, and the other end attached to the pointer, updating the value as you move it.

Trace window > Enter 2nd point– Snap to the other side of the window opening on your floor plan, or if you don't have a floor plan to reference, use AccuDraw or the dimension display to position the pointer accurately. Enter a data point to finish.

The window is created graphically and in the OpenBuildings Energy Simulator Project Tree.
