However, making a symbol/style of the installed window makes it easy to reuse it in other drawings should there be a need to do so in the future.Ĭurrently, there is no direct way to create a bay (bow) window.

If a custom window is unique (that is, it has only one instance) in a project, creating a symbol or style from it is unnecessary. This eliminates the need to repeatedly apply parameters, maximizes memory efficiency, and allows global editing of symbols. Once a window style is created, you can select it from the Resource Selector on the Tool bar or on the Window Settings dialog box (see Window settings).Īlternatively, a window can be customized by adjusting various parameters, and then saved as a symbol so that its parameters are preset upon insertion. This command converts the windows to the latest format see Migrating from previous versions.Ĭreating a window style allows you to set fixed values for some of the parameters for all instances that use the style, while maintaining the ability to edit other parameters for each instance of the window. The Update Plug-in Objects command may need to be run on files containing windows that were created in an earlier version of the software. In Vectorworks Architect, additional symbols are available, and energy-related information specified for windows is considered when conducting an energy analysis. The Vectorworks Design Series products provide the Window tool to create windows and insert them into walls, including into curtain walls as special “curtain wall windows.” Additionally, the Vectorworks libraries include window symbols in standard sizes and various configurations, as well as some manufacturers’ catalogs.
