Hi @vicsrc I don't use the Océ, but first off, I think most would ask whether you have the latest drivers etc. and what your system is (add it as a signature). If you don't already have this - https://files.lfpp.csa.canon.com/media/Assets/PDFs/TSS/external/TDS400/TDS400_UM_XPe_US_v1_m56577569830529523.pdf

What effect are you after bc?

Yes - the window tool is fairly comprehensive in the options available, but can provide what you want. Your Resource Manager shows you have created two window resources for the project. These are your own custom 'Window Styles'. When you place them into the project, you create 'instances' of those styles. If you make direct changes to those instances (where available (see below)) you will not change or effect the basic Style shown in the RM. Alternatively, if (say) all Type A1 need to be wider, you will Edit the Style within the Resource Manager. This will then be reflected in all the instances (depending on some options) where that Style is in place. You say the option to alter ID Tag information is not available within the OIP. Your screen cap confirms. This is because the (Type A1) Style has been saved with ID Tag options set as 'Class' (set to be not editable) If you go back into the window Style you've created you'll see... (something like) If you click the 'by class' icons you will see the 'user options available' icon now shows. Here I've set the ID Tag options 'open'.. This will then be saved with parts available to edit. However, that was a bit of a side issue and you do not need to make this change to accomplish what you need. Using the ID Label tool will allow you to make the changes you need to the Label (including to those seemingly not editable by way of the OIP) Use the tool to click the windows and alter the settings (including Automatic increment) as you wish. I've placed three windows as you have... They are all 'raw' (showing basic Style info) and will need to be corrected with the ID Label tool. Using the tool I've given each window the unique numbering you wanted, including (say) adding a forward '1' to show these windows are on the first floor. A 'top tip' is to number windows anti-clockwise on plan. You will then have 'nicer' elevations with windows reading left to right (obviously tags need be set to show in 3D) I hope that works for you. Bit rushed - someone will correct me if I've missed something or shown steps incorrectly.

By your reference you seem to be using the ID Tag for windows and the default setting for the ID has provided you with W-01. The Include on Schedule checkbox allows the ID to show on drawings (theres a further option to show in 3D) You've then maybe duplicated the window and you now have a few of 'the same' windows on the drawing? If you use the ID Tag settings to expand on the information, you can change the label (number) appropriately. You might like to add a suffix - say Type A, or anything that suits your schedule/strategy. Similar options are available from the ID Label tool, but with further automation. and clicking on one of your windows with the tool will offer similar data settings for the window. Choose Options and then Auto-Increment from the resulting window. Further clicks on the remaining windows will now add as you go. And I've added a suffix. Good idea to have a play with the options you need and how they will fit in with any Window Schedule you create for the project, as a schedule will report any additional data you require. Let me know if I've gone 'off-piste' with this answer.

Help for next time..

The file you downloaded has no data. Opening in a text editor shows only.. Maybe download again?

😂

Choose to show a threshold and adjust it to suit the door opening. It will default to a white box with a border, but you can alter the 'class' settings to rid the box of its border.

Thought that was what you required. If you need the functionality of the door tool but only in 2D just keep to Top/Plan. But, I'd advise you start to use walls (still in Top/Plan) to really ramp up your workflow. (I'm trying to get you down off the roof of that car😀)

I'm intrigued @RDS Casa.. It seems you want to show insulation and then you seem to have turned to wanting to have studwork also. Why are you wanting to devise a method of having the studwork drawn which (by your own admission) is not really that 'accurate' and doesn't work very well in walls? Why aren't you using the framing tool? This will provide you with a really very good 'design intent' 2D plan of the stud layout(s). Also 3D framing panels if you wish - but it seems maybe the contractors only need an 'indicative' from you.

@jah011 (why, why, why????) (Not to be rude 😀) OK - seems you're in a position you're not able to influence. The company bought a new car with some excellent 'bells and whistles', but they insist you can only use it if you tether up a horse, sit on the roof and get pulled around town. To be serious, you have the tools available to stay with 2D if you need to. Choose door from the tools.. Place a simple 'unstyled' door in 'Top/Plan', and this will be placed in its 2D guise. You can see the OIP will allow you to change the simple width - which I assume is all you feel you need for this process. You can see if you go to a 3D view that the door is still capable of appearing in 3D. But I guess you need to 'kill' that. Pick the door shape and 'ungroup' OK to this.. The door now has its individual shapes (and lost the ability to show in 3D) Add your white polygon if you wish. Best to Group it again. You can now place this in your plans as your 2D only door. I assume you may choose this method for your windows? Suggest you create this into a symbol (maybe with the door width in the name) and use that, with other width doors, as your quick access door library. After you get used to this process, you could look at showing a door leaf half open etc. sliding/folding etc. (all with the 3D 'turned off') But really - you could be doing some 3D work on your own and showing your colleagues what a missed opportunity they have. (lost cause?) Hope the latter is something you try...and let us know! All the best. @Jim Wilson - why does the image above, that I deleted, still show?. Forum software bug?

(Goes without saying, but for those that don't know) You can always return the full roof by using the same 2D procedure with 'add surface' and then maybe an altered 'clip' shape if the building changes. Nice building btw.

You could look up the product sales/technical pdf's to check dimensions.

Yes - but sometimes Faces is what is easier to design with so the inconsistency in the controls is a disappointment. This has been raised with the boffins earlier. HTH - don't forget @Diego-Resuelvectorworks

Agreed - hence my Edit of that post. This is a complication Roof Faces just can't deal with. Read on and use Roof rather than faces. (As discussed) this should work for you.

So - to reply more helpfully, use @Diego-Resuelvectorworks advice and create a roof (all sides pitched) rather than roof faces. Set your overhanging component as before (overhangs all walls) and then change the roof to double gable. The overhanging components will remain as set and the roof will stay unchanged at ridge level, which is what you required.

@mike11968 - there are a few issues with your roof construction here, but I'm sticking to just the top junction issue, you need the Connect/Combine tool Starting with a 'faulty' junction.. Use the tool and the appropriate options for the tool (have a play around with the options to get acquainted)... Then, highlight one section of roof and drag to highlight the opposing section to join the two.. to provide the fix you need... You can carry out this operation from any viewing position that you can see both pieces conveniently. I assume this is what you need. -------EDIT Sorry, (reading your OP more carefully!!) I have misunderstood your problem - you are talking about just top component. I'm guessing something said 'don't go there again' after an earlier similar question..... You'll see some of the issues.

Errr.....just double clicked it. 🤗 Sorry, no complicated or special technique, so I can't think you were doing anything wrong. HTH.

Good call. Worth a try for future reference.

Opens for me in 2017 but reports created with an older version Also opens in 2018 Saved as v2018 - try opening CR9966 MERCE 2017 Mº CRISTINA 270617 v2018.vwx

Excellent plug Nicolas. 😍

HTH (maybe update your signature)

Hi @ccw - are you wanting more than the lintel settings offer? ---------------------------EDIT Oh - just seen you appear to be on 2015 - not available?

Oh - sorry Tim - forgot it was an older file version you'd posted. Didn't really take that into account. Glad it moved you on a bit. VW worksheets should come with 'user caution'. Half the time you know what you want and what result you're expecting in cells, but you have to slog away at different options to reach the goal. I've got my sheets set up for specific tasks and I don't usually create or modify so much, so it's just as hard for me! Whereas there are super talented people on the forum that could calculate moon landings 🤓

Try this..
