I have this window (see attached)

called a "2 x 3 wood transom window". Now im not stupid, but why does it have wood in the name if any material can be applied?

secondly, when I opened the RFA and resaved it as transom window instread or wood transom window, it adda a long name two times on the list when loaded into the project. ie. transom_window_: tranasom_wood_window_1668!. why is this, what does it mean, why wont it just load into the friggin project with a simple name like the one I gave it, which when saved was shorter than the previous wood name.

 

thanks any help would be appreciated.

 

Michael

Windows have a family and a type name.  Rename the family to what you would like to see and rename the type.
