All-in-One Sliding Window

All of the built-in features were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the advanced parametric capabilities of Revit. This All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family allows you to create a wide range of Sliding Windows with just one single Family.

The Window System

The All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family is a new and unique way to create Revit Sliding Window Families. The built in fully parametric Frame system lets you create any Sliding Window System you need for your Project. Due to the proportional Frame System, the Window can be used in various situations just by changing the Width and Height and the Frame System will adjust automatically. This is the first time you get all Windows with just a few clicks in your Revit Project that you need. To maintain your Revit Sliding Windows and keep them consistent in design has never been easier then with this All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family.

Window setup

The biggest problem around Sliding Windows in a Revit Project is the almost infinite number of possible Window variations, as you might have already experienced with ordinary Revit Window Families. The goal in developing this All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family was to give you one advanced parametric Revit Window Family that allows you to adjust to almost any possible Window Configuration. This amazing flexibility is possible due to 10 independently and easy window setups which allow you to setup main frame and sub frames containing either fix glazing or a Sliding Window Frame.

The Wall Opening

The Wall opening doesn’t get that much attention with normal Revit Window Families as you might have experienced. Not so with this All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family as it lets you have full control over the Wall Opening with many adjustable parameters to get the Opening, the Render wrapping, Reveal, etc. exactly how you require it for your specific Project.

Rough Opening

The correct Rough Opening is the basic functionality that you await from a good Revit Sliding Window Family. If the Rough Opening is 100% correct, you can trust to use it for your construction as well as detail documentation drawings. The All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family gives you the possibility to setup specific Rough Distances between your Frame and the actual opening.

Render Offset

You can setup various Wrapping options within the System Wall Family, but this is just the half way to get the exact detail you really need. It is important to be able to control how much the render overlaps your frame separate for interior as well as exterior and the All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family lets you do this in a very convenient way.

Tapered Reveal

Projects are often existing buildings that will be refurbished, and therefore Windows have to be placed into existing walls that often have tapered reveals. The All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family helps you with its fully adjustable Reveals to exactly show each reveal as it is existing in the specific structure.

Cut joined Wall

The Wall System family gives you great possibilities to setup the exact Wall Layers you need. But sometimes it is necessary to add an additional Wall (e.g. Dry-Lining) and join it with the original Wall. The All-in-One Revit Sliding Window Family supports those additionally joined walls with its Wall opening and it applies all your settings for Rough Distance, Tapered Reveals as well as Render Offset seamless to the original Wall as well as any additional joined Wall.

Cavity Closer

The All-in-One Sliding Window Family offers fully parametric cavity closers which can be adjusted in their dimensions as well as position. The cavity closers show accordingly to your detail mode with more or less details. Your benefit is that you have the cavity closers automatically in all your details which saves you the manual masking and detailing.

Opening / Frame Dimensions
