Window properties
To edit window parameters, click Settings from the Object Info palette, double-click the window to open the Window Settings dialog box, or right-click on a window and select Edit from the context menu.
When multiple window objects are selected for editing, and if the parameter settings of the selected objects are different, parameters display in an “indeterminate state.” Any values changed through the dialog box are changed for all the selected objects.
Window objects can also be edited from the Object Info palette. If the window has been inserted as a plug-in object, most settings from the Window Settings dialog box display. If the window is a black symbol made from a window object, fields pertaining to window geometry do not display. See Concept: Vectorworks symbolen.
For windows using object styles, the parameters that are set by style display for informational purposes but cannot be edited from the Window Settings dialog box or the Object Info palette.
Most, but not all, parameters can be edited from both the Window Settings dialog box and the Object Info palette for ease of access. The fields in the Object Info palette are named similarly (but not always identically) to those in the Window Settings dialog box, and roughly reflect the order in which settings are entered in the dialog box, for ease of editing. Curtain wall windows have limited parameter options.
The window parameters are described in Inserting windows. Only the parameters that are different are described here.
