All-in-One Bi-Fold & Sliding Door & Window - How to setup a Corner Solution ?

The All-in-One Bi-Fold & Sliding  Door & Window Revit Family allows to setup a corner solution either with or without corner post.
The following illustration shows a corner with a corner post where both corner posts miter under 45 degrees.

Following the instance parameter to setup the corner solution for the right Post:
Right FrameVisibility - This parameter controls the visibility of the right post. If this parameter is activated (ticked), the post is visible.
Frame Right Angle Flip - This parameter allows to flip the miter angle of the right post in order to setup an inner or outer corner. Illustration 1 shows the result when this parameter is activated (ticked) and illustration 2 shows the result when this parameter is deactivated (unticked).
Frame Right Angle - This parameter sets the angle for the miter of the right post. The illustration 1 and 2 show an 90 degrees corner with a parameter value of 45 degrees.

Following the instance parameter to setup the corner solution for the left Post:
Left FrameVisibility - This parameter controls the visibility of the left post. If this parameter is activated (ticked), the post is visible.
Frame Left Angle Flip - This parameter allows to flip the miter angle of the left post in order to setup an inner or outer corner. Illustration 1 shows the result when this parameter is activated (ticked) and illustration 2 shows the result when this parameter is deactivated (unticked).
Frame Left Angle - This parameter sets the angle for the miter of the left post. The illustration 1 and 2 show an 90 degrees corner with a parameter value of 45 degrees.

Illustration 2:


Alternative to the mitered Corner Post, the All-in-One Bi-Fold & Sliding Door & Window Family offers the possibility to hide the Corner Post (vertical Frame) separate for each side. In order to switch off the visibility for the Corner Post of your choice you need to adjust the instance parameters Right Frame Visibility or Left Frame Visibility.

In order to cut the remaining wall at the corner you adjust the ROUGH DISTANCE RIGHT or ROUGH DISTANCE LEFT depending on the side where you want to setup your corner post. The following type parameter dialog shows an increased value for the ROUGH DISTANCE LEFT in order to cut the wall corner.

The All-in-One Sash Window Revit Family 3.0 is available for download

With our All-in-One Revit Families, we are constantly working on the best balance between Features and Performance and as we take this subject very serious and rather then concentration just on new content, we constantly improve our existing All-in-One Revit Families. Due to our unique Update Service, all our existing customers benefit from this ongoing development with FREE Updates.



Today we are very happy to release the completely re-developed All-in-One Sash Window  Family 3.0 that brings a much better organized Parameter Structure, massively better performance and great new features.


Until the end of this year, we want to release also a complete re-developed All-in-One Door Family and by the beginning of next year the Next Generation of our All-in-One Families which will bring the Subject of Revit Families to a complete new level. But more about this Next Generation by end of this year.
Today I want to focus on the new All-in-One Sash Window 3.0 and its Improvements and New Features.


The Window System
The All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family is a new and unique way to create Revit Sash Window Families. The built in fully parametric Frame system lets you create any Sash Window you need for your Project. Due to the proportional Frame System, the Window can be used in various situations just by changing the Width and Height and the Frame System will adjust automatically. This is the first time you get all Windows with just a few clicks in your Revit Project that you need. To maintain your Revit Windows and keep them consistent in design it has never been easier then with this All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family.

The Window Sash Frames
Standard Revit Sash Window Families give you a fix setup of Sash Elements. Not so with this All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family as it allows you to setup your Revit Sash Window exactly as you need it.

Glazing Bars
This All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family lets you setup as many horizontal and vertical parametric Glazing Bars as you require. This feature is available for each Sash Frame independently.

The Bay Sash Window
This new Version of the All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family allows you now to fully customize the Window Corner Joins in a very effective and simple to use way. The fully parametric Post Feature allows you to setup the connection Post you need to make any arrangement of Bay Windows, Corner Windows, etc. You can control the Angle the Window miters, the Width, Depth as well as Material of the Post.

The Sash Weights
This All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family helps you to show the Sash Window in your Revit project as realistic as possible and therefore it lets you now add Sash Weights with just one click. The Frame automatically adjusts and can be further adjusted by you to achieve the correct detail solution.

Window Accessories
The All-in-One Revit Sash Window Family comes with a parametric Horn as well as a fully parametric Sill for exterior and interior.

The All-in-One Revit Window Family 1.1 is available for download


The All-in-One Window Family has finally joined the successful series of our All-in-One Revit Families and is available for you to download at http://www.revit-content.com/content/window


The goal with this Window Family was to develop one advanced parametric Revit Family that allows you to build any kind of Window for your Revit Project independent of your project specific situation. There are so many Window Families available, but they all let you just setup a specific Window configuration with limited possibilities of adjustment.


This new All-in-One Window Family has none of those limitations and lets you build any Window independent of which arrangement of Fix and Swing Elements, Glazing Bars, Swing opening to Interior or Exterior, etc.

This All-in-One Window Family has quickly turned into our most successful Revit Family and we are very happy to release today the next Version 1.1 which adds effective and a simple to use Feature for Bay Windows.
The feedback we have received has been overwhelming and it has proved that this new powerful and simple to use concept of building any Revit Window with just one professional developed parametric Revit Family is definitely a must have Family for every Architect and Revit User. It has also shown that Revit Users miss support in building Bay Windows, Corner Windows or any combination of Windows. After evaluating all the helpful responses and requests, we have build in this new great feature which helps you to setup a proper connection between your windows. It was never easier to get any Bay Window arrangement or a Corner Window in Revit.
