-BIMWINDOWCREATE command

Creates a fully parametric window or opening based on a closed contour.

BricsCAD BIM

Description

Creates parametric windows using as profile any entity such as a boundary, a closed polyline or grid.

Note: This command operates at the Command line.

Method

Select a profile (boundary, closed polyline or grid) on a wall to create a window or an opening. For the option wIndow (set as default), also specify a panel type.

The window or opening is created as a parametric block with BIM properties. The component type is BIM Block (for more information about BIM Blocks, see the Using the Library panel article).

Important: BIM Blocks are compatible with BricsCAD® V26 and later. Drawings with BIM Blocks can be opened with older BricsCAD® versions. However, when inserting BIM Blocks in BricsCAD® V25 or older, they lose their BIM data.

Options within the command

wIndow
Creates a BIM Window entity. An opening in the solid on which the profile entity lies is created automatically.
Opening
Creates an Opening entity in the solid on which the profile entity lies. The opening is created by a solid on the BC_SUBTRACT layer. This layer is frozen by default. Thaw the layer to select the opening.
