Christiaan Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 What does the Masonry Module option in the Window/Door PIO do? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 13, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 13, 2006 It sets the masonry module, of course The masonry module is used as a multiple to determine the size of the masonry opening. Say you set your masonry module to 225mm, common in the UK. Then the "masonry opening" that is calculated for this window or door is a multiple (in both directions) of 225mm. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah I figured that so what effect is the window size meant have on the opening? What's the relationship between the module and the window size I mean (especially if they don't correlate)? Also, for the 225 masonry module, would you not be better to use 112.5 or does it have half measure covered? [ 04-13-2006, 10:30 AM: Message edited by: Christiaan ] Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 13, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 13, 2006 You should use the half measure. There is no effect on the geometry of the window / door. This is just for the benefit of the "masonry opening height" and "masonry opening width" information fields that are calculated by the object.

Christiaan Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ah I see, thanks. Quote Link to comment
The Anorak Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I know this is an oldie, but I wanted to revisit the masonry module settings in the window/door tool. Is there a way to give different values to the height and width of the module? It seems odd that they would both be determined by the one value. Or am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment
ColinW Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The actual opening dimensions also need to account for and extra mortar joint so it's not a pure module dimension either. Quote Link to comment
