1. select the cut generation commands from the "Generating sections" ribbon

2.  We use the "Frame" programme to draw an open frame contour for our example.

The points must always be defined in a clockwise direction. You can define the first point (P1) anywhere in the drawing.

Command: Frame

The "Frame profiles" dialogue box appears. Tap in the "620200" field. The selected profile is used for the entire frame.

3. With the "Transom/mullion" command, the T/M profiles are now inserted horizontally and vertically.

You start with the horizontal rung first. This is inserted across the entire width and then automatically divided by the vertical rung. It is important that the entire muntin profile is visible in the CAD.

Command: "Transom/mullion"

Transom/mullion Profile from point: Move the mouse over auxiliary point P1 only until upward tracking (ortho mode F8 on) is activated. Then  enter 2000 and confirm.

Move the mouse to the right and tap the right-hand side with entity snap Perpendicular.

After the message "Transom/mullion profile from point",  show the start of the T/M profile and select the line for the end of the profile in the "o line <PERPENDICULAR>" enquiry .

The "T/M Profiles" dialogue box is displayed and you enter "620320" in the profile field.

With the request "Move or <RETURN> for accept", confirm the axis dimension as a position with .

The selected profile appears as a default in the following command line. The vertical rung is inserted with the same T/M profile.

End <T/M-profile> profile <620320>

Transom/mullion profile from point: Move over auxiliary point P1 with the mouse only until tracking (ortho mode F8 on) to the right is activated. Then enter 2000 and confirm

Move the mouse downwards and tap the lower auxiliary line/auxiliary rung with entity snap PERPENDICULAR.

After the muntin run "to line" <PERPENDICULAR> (see example), the position of the profile is  confirmed with .

To achieve the same visible width as in the sash, the top and base profiles are used as muntins in the side section. To do this, the profile specification <620320> must be changed.

Tap the right mouse button and

on "Profile" or enter "P" using the keypad. The "T/M profiles" dialogue box is displayed and you tap in the "Door profiles" field to select the "624410" profile.

The profile variable is overwritten and used as the default for the next rung < 624410 >.

End <T/M-profile> profile <624410>

Transom/mullion profile from point: <Intersection point> (P1)

to line < PERPENDICULAR >

Click with the left mouse button to move the rung, confirm (or change) 1/2 the face width. Then move the position upwards with the left mouse button and  confirm with the right mouse button or with .

The profile specification must be changed again for the muntin bar with plinth profile. Click on "Profile" in the on-screen menu and select the field for profile "624200".

The profile variable is overwritten and used as the default for the next T/M profile <624200>.

End <T/M-profile> profile <624200>

Transom/mullion profile from point  (P1) draw this T/M profile from left to right. This means that the glazing bar is at the top.

to line <PERPENDICULAR>

Click with the left mouse button to move the profile, confirm (or change) 1/2 the face width. Then move the position upwards with the left mouse button and confirm with the right mouse button or with .

to line <PERPENDICULAR> :   Intersection of auxiliary line / glass edge right

The entity snap in < > brackets is already predefined.

The "T-bar profiles" dialogue box then appears. Type "621020" into the profile field.

We end the "T-bar" programme with .

6. After inserting the sash bars, we change the glass thickness in the plinth area of the door.

With the command "OPTIONS\GLASS THICKNESS" and the subsequent object selection in the window (see example), the dialogue box "Filling" appears. After entering the new glass thickness "38", you will receive the message "Number of altered fillings <2> ".

Only elements on the WHC_GLAS layer that are completely in the window when the object is selected are changed.

You have now created the view and can edit the view with the other menu items of the section generation (enter section, etc.)
