N.B: To access this panel, open the Worksheet, click on the mirror and select the button in the next panel.

Management panel for mullions, transoms and muntins

The central area of the framework represents the mirroring within which you must place the transoms, mullions, muntin, or fillers. In short, all operations on the mirroring should be done in this area.

Below are the framework contents:

• System, Series, Structure: They show the system, series, and structure they belong to, respectively. They are not directly editable.

• Assignment of mullions or transoms: To assign mullions or transoms, click inside the Active area. The following pane will open, and then you click on one of the two buttons to enter a mullion or a transom.

Archive buttons

• :opens the management framework of the typology management.
• : open the muntins management framework.

Action keys

• Placement of fillers (glasses, panes or slatted panes):After defining the typology fillers, you can place them in the various mirrors by pressing this button first, called positioner, and then selecting with the mouse pointer the part of the mirror where you want to place the filler, as many times as necessary until the code of the filler itself appears. Please know that a code like R#1 or R#2 or R#3 etc... means that it is a nonexistent filler or it has been created, but the glass (or panel) code is missing.

• Fillers overlap: after defining fillers typology and after setting them in the place you prefer (as explained in the previous paragraph), through this button you can place a filler where one already exists by first pressing the button and then selecting the mirroring where you want to place the filler:

will open the panel on the side, where we will add the filler to be overlapped. This procedure is useful in case of overlapped filler on a single mirroring (ex: glass+panel)

• Deactivation/Activation of muntin:if the profiles for the muntin have been defined, in theMuntins archive, the muntin will appear on all the mirrors of the structure because by default the program considers all the mirrors to be active.

However, by pressing this button and selecting the part of the mirroring chosen with the mouse pointer, it will be possible to activate or deactivate the chosen muntin. This is useful, for example, to be able to make structures with muntins only in the upper mirroring or on the lower mirroring.

• Deactivation/Activation of shutter: is used to deactivate the shutter in a mirroring; after pressing this key you will have to click in the chosen mirroring.

• Profile inclination: opens a panel in which the profile inclination can be set. The button is activated only for transoms within the mirroring.

Sash management

This group of elements is used to choose the sash on which to operate. In fact, in the case of windows with several sashes, it is possible to make all the operations only on one sash, as explained in the previous paragraphs, i.e., assignment of transoms or mullions, muntins, overlapped fillers, etc…

• : This element shows the structure by highlighting in white the current frame, that is, the one on which the operation will take place. Normally, in the case of structures with more than one sash, the operation will occur on all sashes.

• : Pressing this button will make all sashes identical to the left sash.

Additional controls

• Formula, Machining, Accessories: Pressing these buttons allows the management of formulas, machining and accessories related to mullions, transoms and muntins.

• Carryovers:This box is for assigning any carryover profiles to the mullions or transoms, not to the muntins.
