Manual

With this latest version we also release a complete new PDF manual, including a full list of parameters and more detailed illustrations that greatly simplify the use of the family.

Lite versions

The Window family comes now also in a Lite version, which offers less of the advanced features but better performance.

Materials

We've added Wx Glass parameters to the categories Materials and Finishes, which allow you to apply individual materials the each pane's glass.

Exterior and interior render offset top

We've added new instance parameters Render Offset Top Exterior and Render Offset Top Interior, which allow you to control the interior and exterior render offsets for the head independent of the sides. Previously, the head and sides were controlled via the Render Offset Sides Exterior and Render Offset Sides Interior parameters.

Fixes

Visibility

Detail level

We've fixed an issue where window trim, sill, roller shutter and handles weren't hidden in coarse mode.

Visibility / Graphic

We've added Roller Shutter, Handle and Glazing bar & Louver to subcategories, allowing for better visibility control.

Frame Depth

We've fixed an issue where the value for Frame Depth couldn't be equally to the wall thickness.

Mullion & Transom Width

We've fixed an issue where, if the parameter Window Subframe Width (v2) had a value greater than the Frame Width parameter, the geometry of the frame was shown incorrectly. Now, the maximum value for the Mullion & Transom Width (v3) parameter is automatically limited by the value of the Frame Width parameter.

Window Depth Position

We've fixed an issue where Window Depth Position was shown with different offset, when parameter Frame Depth was set to equal or more than 70mm.

Glass Position

We've fixed an issue where the glass position was shown incorrect, when the parameter Frame Depth was set to more then 70mm.

Elevation Symbol Lines and Handle

We've fixed an issue where the direction of elevation symbol lines was shown incorrect, when the value for Opening Swing was set to 12, 14, 32, 34 and the parameter Symbol Lines Hinge Side was enabled.

We've also fixed an issue where the handle wouldn't be visible when parameter Opening Swing was set values 12, 14, 32, 34.

Phasing

We've fixed an issue where lines for frame and pane would be hidden, when host wall was set to "Phase Created: Existing".

Note:

Instead of the simple opening tool, this family uses various voids for the wall opening, to provide features like rough distance, render offsets, and taper reveals. This causes issues in the following scenarios:

  • When placing the same window (copied instance or newly loaded) in the exact same place with different creation and demolition phases.
  • When wall opening lines are hidden and host wall has "Phase Created: Existing", and window has "Phase Created: New Construction" (usually used in renovation).

Solutions for these scenarios are now described in the new manual.

Other improvements and changes

Parameters

With this version, we have decided to adjust some of the parameters to align with our other families and bring more consistency which should simplify the work with parameters. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change of parameter names, as it might affect some AIO Window families in your projects.

Updating

The upgrade process from the old version is described in detail in the new manual.
Note: Due to changes in Revit 2024 you should upgrade from a specially included separate family file for Revit 2024.

Revit version

Version 3 supports now all Revit & Revit LT versions from 2020.
