Zhongwang CAD Building Edition door and window management system
The process of designing and editing doors and windows plays a crucial role in architectural CAD design. As architects, we frequently need to tweak the parameters of doors and windows and their styles throughout the CAD design workflow. Once the designs are finalized, we must count the total number of door and window elements across an entire building or construction project. Thus, a comprehensive door and window design is typically completed during the architectural drawing phase, which usually involves tasks like door and window finishing, alignment, and generating a door and window schedule. Traditional building software often offers limited door and window finishing features, typically providing basic checks to ensure there are no conflicts between doors and windows or verifying if spacing adheres to building codes.
I was thrilled to hear about the upcoming release of construction software from a domestic CAD manufacturer. I decided to test this feature first and was genuinely surprised by how well the Zhongwang CAD Building Edition performed in these areas. I wanted to share my findings with colleagues who might benefit from this information:
**Door and Window Finishing**
In the latest version of Zhongwang CAD Building, the door and window finishing function has been significantly enhanced. Not only does it quickly identify any design inconsistencies, but it also allows customization of drawings based on specific door and window numbers. Door and window objects are systematically organized, and a categorized list is displayed on the finishing interface.
Clicking on the list lets you instantly locate the corresponding object in the drawing; if you wish to edit a door or window, simply double-click to open the editing panel. You can also directly access the door and window gallery from the preview screen to change the style of the door or window being replaced. Editing is straightforward and efficient, with changes immediately reflected in the finishing list.
**Door and Window Adjustment**
After arranging and checking the initial placement of doors and windows, you may encounter layouts that don’t meet building standards or require adjustments due to spacing issues. Traditionally, resizing or altering styles meant reinserting doors and windows entirely. However, the Zhongwang CAD Building Edition introduces a simpler solution—door and window alignment.
Based on the relationship between doors/windows and surrounding structures, you can align them to walls, baselines, axes, or set them as centered. By specifying desired dimensions, you can easily adjust the relative positions of doors and windows to precise values.
**Door and Window Schedule Generation**
A door and window schedule can be generated directly by selecting the relevant objects for statistical purposes. If your drawing includes plans for multiple floors of a building and floor heights have been defined, you can generate unified schedules for each floor. This capability stems from the fact that doors and windows created in the Zhongwang CAD Building Edition are treated as custom entities, where each graphic inherently carries its own parameter details.
The combination of door and window finishing, alignment, and schedule generation tools within the new Zhongwang CAD Building Edition caters thoughtfully to the needs of designers throughout the design process. These tools streamline graphical edits and reduce the time and effort required for object counting and management.
This latest release from Zhongwang reflects a deep understanding of our practical needs as designers. It’s exciting to see the continuous improvement in domestic CAD software, fulfilling user expectations and enhancing productivity.
As someone who has experienced firsthand the evolution of such tools, I’m optimistic about the future of architectural design workflows thanks to innovations like those offered by Zhongwang.
