Structure of the Door/Window Settings Dialog Box
Like the Object Settings dialog box, Door/Window Settings has a browser area on the left side and panels on the right side:
Double-click the splitter bar to open/close the browser area (or click the black arrow at the top of the splitter bar).
Browse among the folders and objects to find the one you need.
For details on searching, see Search for Library Part.
If you select an object (not a folder) in the browser area, its settings appear on the right-hand side of the dialog box.
Use the icons at the bottom of the Settings dialog box to:
•Go to Library Manager
•Load a different GDL Object
•Go to BIM Components Portal
•Share Object to Portal
Empty Opening: Click this icon to clear the current Library Part choice and automatically use an Empty Hole for the Door or Window opening.
