Isn't that just the A & B sizes?

I've been looking for it for a long time ^^

The manual says that the nominal dimensions can be these parameters

A / B
ac_wallhole_width / ac_wallhole_height
ac_unit_width / ac_unit_height
ac_reveal_width / ac_reveal_height
ac_egress_width / ac_egress_height (doors only)
ac_leaf_width / ac_leaf_height (doors only)

When you schedule the nominal sizes, I think you will always get the A & B sizes.

 

The windows/doors do also have ...

 

ac_wallhole_width / ac_wallhole_height
ac_unit_width / ac_unit_height
ac_reveal_width / ac_reveal_height
ac_egress_width / ac_egress_height (doors only)
ac_leaf_width / ac_leaf_height (doors only)

 

If they have been included in the script as parameters.

Doors and windows then give you the option to use those parameters as the nominal size.

The object will then be sized (modelled) based on the wallhole size or the reveal size or the unit (frame) size.

i.e. you choose what you want to be used as the nominal size.

 

So the nominal size will not necessarily be the same as the actual wallhole, reveal or unit size, depending on which you choose and what other settings you make.

i.e. if there is zero tolerance (as shown in this image) the wall hole and unit sizes will be the same.

If there are no reveal offsets, then that will be the same as well.

 

If you set the wallhole as the nominal size and there is a tolerance made, the frame will actually be modelled slightly smaller - although the door marker and dimension will still show the 'nominal' size (A & B).
