JoeinNorCal Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Is there a way to show which way casement windows open in plan view, just like doors? This was a topic back in 2018. Several people gave +1s, but I haven't found that it's been implemented. I'm using X13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's close but no cigar, because I'm looking for those indicators in PLAN view, in addition to elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it by customizing a parametric glass hinged door and changing the specifications but it takes some work. Most will just place a cad arc to show it.

joey_martin Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 As Ryan says you can use doors, but honestly it's just as easy to create a CAD block and put it on there if needed. I have created CAD blocks for my refrigerators and tall linen cabinets that I like to use, same can be done for casement windows.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 One day hopefully... If Chief can show doors w/ swings (in plan), then windows should be no problem. Regarding the solution, like others have posted, both methods work. Meaning using doors as casement windows. That said, the CAD block method works just as well (to show swings) The only minor issue with the door method (and calling doors casements) is that it'll mess with the window schedule.
