Window orientation parameter (N/S/E/W)

[Martin Jan Rosa]

Hello, I wonder if there is a way to get information about window orientation (I can't find a parameter that has a value depending on its orientation to north, south, west or east (or an angle, from which I achieve this using the custom property with an expression))? I need to get this value into Archicad property (for scheduling and IFC export) without setting it manually if possible.

Hello Matin,

I have already had this type of discussion with a thermal design office. In reality the orientation of windows and exterior doors depends more on the overall orientation of the facade. The architecture of a facade can generate hollows and thus orient windows and doors in a different direction.
For this reason, I doubt that it makes sense to define orientation mathematically. I tend to define the orientation of a set of walls on a facade and then list the openings placed in these walls.
