Copy & Pasting Details
Copy details from one window or door to other windows or doors.
Use this tool copy details from one window or door to other windows or doors. The details should not be defined inside the window or door assembly - they should be separate products, within close proximity of the door or window. Typical examples may include a sill, lintel, separate framing objects or wall finishes inside the window reveals.
These objects may be manufactured, installed, quantified, ... by separate stakeholders. To avoid a combinatorial explosion of possible configurations of window types, sill types, lintel types..., the objects should be allowed to be modelled separately. For easy propagation of such details to other windows/doors in your project, the Copy/Paste Details tool can be used.
