Palette for Window SmartParts, Window sill

Palette for Window SmartParts + Window SmartParts

You can assign an inner or outer window sill to the Window SmartPart.

Notes: You can insert a Window sill SmartPart in a window opening if the bottom edge of the opening is horizontal.
If you assign an inner or outer window sill to a Window SmartPart, these elements are no longer treated as individual elements; They merge to form a single object. This has effects on analyses using Reports. Allplan treats Window SmartParts with inner or outer window sills as a whole, analyzing them as Windows. You cannot analyze these window sills as separate elements.

If you want to analyze window sills separately, you must create them as separate Window sill SmartParts using the Window SmartPart tool. Select Window sill in the list box at the top of the palette. You can then analyze these separate Window sill SmartParts as individual elements using the Reports tool (Window sills.rdlc).

Window sill tab

Outside / Inside

After having selected the Create window sill option, you can enter the dimensions (1-6) for the window sill.
You can see the dimensions in the graphics above.

Offset to the left / Offset to the right: you can define how far the window sill is from the window opening.

Note: The Height value (sum of height 1 + height 2 + offset) is for information. This value is an attribute of the window sill. The program uses it to calculate the height. Based on this height, you can decide to provide fall protection. Using Assign, Modify Object Attributes (shortcut menu of SmartPart), you can check the attributes of the SmartPart.
