How to quickly draw and summarize windows and doors in architectural CAD design

The insertion and modification of doors and windows is indispensable in the design of the building. The drawing operation is relatively mechanical, and the summary data is huge and cumbersome, which makes the designer feel awkward. The new Zhongwang CAD building version adopts the one-click drawing method of building doors and windows, and automatically generates the door and window statistical table. The data summary is straightforward and clear, and the modification is convenient and quick, completely solving this CAD design problem.

First, the door and window are drawn quickly

Click the door and window command to automatically pop up the dialog box for the door and window parameters.

The numbered drop-down menu can be automatically numbered, or the door and window number name can be manually changed. It will provide data basis for statistics and summary of doors and windows. The right side is an optional specification for 2D and 3D styles. This is a powerful library management function for Zhongwang CAD Building Edition.

Because Zhongwang CAD Building Edition adopts custom solid technology, the system automatically maintains the inclusion relationship with the wall during the design editing process according to the position of the doors and windows and the wall. The designer moves or changes to 2D to make it easy. At the same time, the door and window are switched in one step. There are a variety of door and window styles in the same interface, designers can just click on the desired location to insert the appropriate doors and windows.

Some construction projects sometimes have special design requirements. In this regard, Zhongwang CAD Building Edition covers many door and window styles including arc window, bay window and rectangular hole. The insert window style includes four choices of trapezoidal landing, triangle, arc and rectangle. This provides a guarantee for the designer to design a work that meets the requirements.
