To set the attributes of a lintel

  1. Select Set Lintel in the Parametric Frame Builder’s Action list box.
  2. Select a lintel type from the Lintel option menu.
  3. Set the default minimum values for bearing and height of a lintel (the values are specified in master units).

    Key in the values for the Minimum Bearing field, the Minimum Height field, and the Rounded To fields. Rounding means that the Minimum Bearing and Minimum Height are a multiple of the value specified in the Rounded To fields.

  4. Key in values for Overhang Front and Overhang Back.
  5. (Optional) Go back to step 3 to set the Minimum Bearing and Height for another type of lintel.
  6. (Optional) Save the settings file to activate the modified attributes or click Build Command to use the settings for this frame only.
