Window Markers in Door and Window Builder

Anonymous

When labelling windows using "Builder Dimensions" in D&WB, 20mm is added to the width and height of the window.

Anybody know why?

Dave;

I don't have D&WB but 20mm to each of the width and height sounds very suspiciously like a 'structural oversize' dimension ...

Available (deep & buried) in (most) windows & doors parameters. It sounds like your 'defaults' might have been changed at some stage?

I don't have AC running at the moment, but you are getting a rough opening dimension based upon your entered dimension that is being applied to the actual leaf size. Can't remember how D&WB handles this, as it's been awile since I've used it. Look for a parameter setting along these lines.

Unable to find any reference to oversize dims etc

Found it burried in the GDL. I used to be a technician - now I feel more like a programmer
