In this chapter, you will learn how to create separate hardware positions within a project. You will define hardware positions with relevant properties as well as element height and width. The chapter explains how to select elements from other systems and define the window or door insertion for the hardware. These data are included in the estimation and displayed as independent positions in the position list and on the printouts.
- In the "Start" tab, click "New" and select "Position":
- In the following window, enter the data for the new position.
- Under "Type", select "Hardware position" and click "OK":
- Enter the data for the hardware position and click "OK":
- Enter the height and width of the element:
- Click on the search box in the upper left corner and select "Element from another system":
- For window hardware, select "Single/multi-part window insertion":
- For door hardware, select "Single/multi-part door insertion":
- The following steps are similar to those of the input of elements. Follow the program flow and complete the input.
- The hardware position is displayed in the position list in the project environment.
Note:
The data entered here will be applied to the estimation and will be listed as a separate position on the printouts.
