Global Changes: Windows

Contains controls used to identify windows data for which to apply global changes. The global changes can be enabled or restricted using the available controls.

Note: The window construction properties listed here are properties that were defined for the project that the selected rooms were created in or for all projects using the controls found on the Defaults Manager’s Constructions Defaults panel. Default window recesses are defined for rooms windows on Window recess ’s Window recess panel.

Tip: An alternative to using Global Changes is to change the recess data for individual windows by using the controls found in Window Properties.

The project's available window construction types are listed. The window construction type selected here is the window construction type the selected rooms will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by selecting a construction type to omit from the global change. The construction type selected here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same construction type, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.
Window fin type	When on, the window fin construction type can be changed globally for the selected rooms. New data — The project's available window fin construction types are listed. The window fin construction type selected here is the window fin construction type the selected rooms will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by selecting a window fin construction type to omit from the global change. The construction type selected here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same window fin construction type, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.
Window height	When on, the window height property can be changed globally for the selected rooms. Window height refers to the height measured from the room floor to the bottom of the window. New data — Used to enter a new window height value. The window height value entered here is the window height the selected rooms' design will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by entering a window height value to omit from the global change. The window height value entered here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same window height value, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.
Recess shading top overhang	When on, the recess shading top overhang property can be changed globally for the selected rooms. New data — Used to enter a new recess shading top overhang value. The recess shading top overhang value entered here is the recess shading top overhang the selected rooms' design will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by entering a recess shading top overhang value to omit from the global change. The recess shading top overhang value entered here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same recess shading top overhang value, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.
Recess shading distance to window	When on, the recess shading distance to window property can be changed globally for the selected rooms. New data — Used to enter a new recess shading distance to window value. The recess shading distance to window value entered here is the recess shading distance to window the selected rooms' design will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by entering a recess shading distance to window value to omit from the global change. The recess shading distance to window value entered here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same recess shading distance to window value, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.
Recess shading side recess	When on, the recess shading side recess property can be changed globally for the selected rooms. New data — Used to enter a new recess shading side recess value. The recess shading side recess value entered here is the recess shading side recess the selected rooms' design will be globally changed to when the Apply button is clicked. Restrict changes — When on, the changes can be restricted by entering a recess shading side recess value to omit from the global change. The recess shading side recess value entered here will be checked for in the selected rooms' existing window properties. If the data check finds the same recess shading side recess value, the room is omitted from the global change when the Apply button is clicked.

Tip: Units Display – Units are displayed using the default system of units that was defined for the project, but can be changed to display using alternative units.
