window schedule header defaults

[22651omaopio]

My window schedule is showing all 2 x 6 headers in the header list instead of using the default.

The door schedule is correctly listing the default header sizes.

I can't figure out how to make the headers right in the window schedule without changing them in each window specification box.

Do you have your window default set to "Calculate from Width" for the headers ?  

 

If that is not it we would need to know what version you are using and most likely need to have a look at a test plan file.

For many reasons Windows do not update framing headers after being placed unless you change it in the window DBX.  Works well as I can set my LVL headers to 9 1/4 then place my windows on first floor for one builder of mine who wants that as long as it covers all openings, then when I go to second floor he changes to 7 1/4 or 5 1/2 (whatever is min for all windows).  He does that so they dont have to figure out which size header on each floor.  99% of the time it is one size.  So in that case I will change defaults between floors.

 

That long unnecessary explanation leads to this.  If you want all your windows to change header size, marquee select all the windows open them at once and change the header size/type in the framing panel of the window dbx.
