Windows in concrete walls

[DTCBuild]

I design for a builder who uses concrete walls (Ritek). The builder wants the plans to show the window size correctly with the cutout 40mm larger all round. I see you can do this with stem walls. Is there a work around for normal walls? Doors are ok, I just make the jamb 40mm wide. This doesn’t seem to work for windows. The wall manufacturer wants to read my cad files, measuring the rough openings.  Any suggestions would be great, thanks

One thought......Did you try setting the Rough Opening Sizes on the windows to 40mm on all sides?

Mick,

That works for a 3D view but not in plan - the concrete wall butt up against the window frame.

In plan view it works for a framed wall, but not a solid concrete wall.

Thanks for the heads Up , I don't do windows in Concrete Walls much so had not played with this....

 

Using the RO Label as Eric suggested sounds like a good Idea though....
