This size-pair will represent the object every time the Nominal Size option is chosen in the Automatic Dimensioning setup. Only one size pair can be assigned to the parameters A and B at a given time. Note: the connection of the nominal sizes can vary depending on the type of the door/window (external sliding, pocket, etc.).

Do not mistake it with the free opening size (although they are the same in a lot of cases). These sizes mean the distance between the innermost points of the frame. It is connected to the Wallhole Size: ac_reveal_width = ac_wallhole_width - 2 * bReveal * revealSizeĪc_reveal_height = ac_wallhole_height - bReveal * revealSizeĮgress Sizes: ac_egress_width / ac_egress_height The value depends on the reveal geometry: Meaning the free opening sizes (vertically and horizontally) between the innermost reveal edges. Reveal Sizes: ac_reveal_width / ac_reveal_height These sizes mean the door/window itself, the extension of the product you buy at the store:Ĭonnection to the Wallhole Size (using the same tolerance value all around): ac_unit_width = ac_wallhole_width - 2 * toleranceĪc_unit_height = ac_wallhole_height - 2 * tolerance Unit Sizes: ac_unit_width / ac_unit_height Note: the oversize parameters set in the Compatibility option page of the object should not be calculated into this nominal size. These sizes should contain the dimensions of the wall opening itself, including the reveal, the tolerance and the object: Wallhole Sizes: ac_wallhole_width / ac_wallhole_height The same logic applies to the vertical (height) sizes as well. The horizontal sizes (width) can be calculated using the following additional dimensions: ac_leaf_width / ac_leaf_height (doors only).ac_egress_width / ac_egress_height (doors only).a pair of hotspots (2D and 3D) must be placed to mark the extension of these dimensions in 2D and 3D spaceĪRCHICAD recognizes the following nominal size parameters:.an option to assign any of the used sizes as nominal size must be present: the chosen size will be assigned to size A and size B.the standard, nominal size related fix named parameters need to be used in the object, with correct calculations.To make an object collaborate with ARCHICAD, a few conditions have to be met:
This feature helps you to display dimensions fast and easy, but only if the opening objects are prepared for the task. See the menu option: Document/Document Extras/Automatic Dimensioning.Ī very similar option is available in Interactive Schedule to put dimensions on the door and window preview drawings (just highlight a door in the schedule and look for option in the settings dialog). When it comes to documentation, ARCHICAD offers a function called Automatic Dimensioning, with an extra function for wall opening objects (doors and windows) to choose the representing size.
