1.3 Window 

We could able to draw an window with window command 
1. We can access it at command prompt by typing it 
2. We pick following icon  from the construct toolbar 

3.   By selecting it in construct popup menu


As we select the window from popup menu section we get following dialog box on screen . The dialog box contains an input box for width and height of window.  


Dialog  box contain these areas
 window width : We type the width of window here.
 window height : We type the highs of window here.
 window sill height : We type the sill level of window here.
 window lintel height : We type the lintel level of window here.

After putting values of various parameter we get following  prompt on screen
 pick point on wall : (select any point on wall where we want to put an window)
After selecting the point on wall we get an window constructed in wall . The window automatically cut the wall to form an opening for window thus saving the time to cut wall 3dface.
Window constructed with this command are simple casement window having a 3” frame.



Advantage of the window command is that we get window in 2d and 3d are in different layer. 
• window in 2D are constructed in layer “win2d” 
• window in 3D are constructed in layer “win3d”
• wall region in 3d are constructed in layer “wall3dr”
When we turn off the layer win3d and wall3dr layer then seeing the window in NW isometric view




The window constructed with window command have window handle “win” similar to that of wall. Handle is the name given to each entities which constituted a window for example “win” is handle given to first window constructed with custom.CAD window command. All handle are kept in association list hand_dat.
