Notes on inserting library elements in corner windows

Corner window opening tool

Points to keep in mind when you insert OpeningParts, SmartParts or smart symbols in corner windows

• OpeningParts, SmartParts or smart symbols are mitered when they are inserted in corner windows.
• Select Create reveal element, enter a value for Inner reveal and Outer reveal and use the Depth value (for example, 0.056 m) for the Depth of the window.
• Use Window-SmartParts you can insert SmartParts that have been created into corner windows.

If you keep this in mind then you will get right-angled corners even with "normal" OpeningParts, SmartParts or smart symbols. This ensures that you will be satisfied with the resulting views, hidden-line images and animated sequences. However, there are two congruent window frames in the corner.

To obtain geometrically correct results, which is particularly important for corners that are not at right angles, you can use the library to define an element for each segment of the window. The frame of the smart symbol needs to be cut so that a correct miter can be created at the corner.
