I would like to have a window family that would allow for the following parameters:

• Width & height
• Casing option (interior & exterior)
• Muntin options including the number of lites ( # wide x # high), per sash, and the muntin width.

Any idea how to create this?

Also, attached is a profile I created for an exterior casing that we use for dormers.  Any suggestions how to create a sweep that could be applied to this window family?

THanks all!

Height and width is best defined with Ref planes and a dimension you then label with a parameter,

casing i would load in a generic model of the casing created with solid sweeps or extrusions ,with all the parameters you need ( check out F1 for nested families)

for the last part is my english not good enough to understand, but i can say you can alling an array to ref planes and ad a parameter ( integer ) to the array to control the number of arrays .

I'm basically having the same poblem (Muntin Options) where I dont just know what to do, start. I've been reading about arraying family, nesting families and what not, but haven't found a clear step-by-step guide on doing so. Can anyone help me?

I basically need to re-create these options, just dont know how to start.

What do you mean by 'interchange'?

The number of the muttins can be changed - both horizontal and vertical.

Rework their formulas.

I download it, and the vertical and horizontal mullions under "Other" are all greyed out. I only have the option between Traditional Grille and Prairie Grille. There are also no options under the Edit Type.
