DoubleCAD™ XT Pro provides parametric AEC door and AEC window objects. They are
style driven, and multiple door and window styles may be created. AEC doors and windows that are inserted into
self-healing walls are also recognized by AutoCAD® object enablers, so they will be accurately represented in AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT®, or AutoCAD Architecture (ACA), even though neither AutoCAD, nor AutoCAD LT have the tools necessary to create them (for that you need ACA, or now, DoubleCAD XT Pro).
With version 2 there are more door types and shapes, and more window types and shapes available for creating new window styles. Custom profiles may also be used for unique shapes.
Window Types include:
- Picture
- Single Hung
- Double Hung
- Awning Transom
- Double Casement
- Glider
- Hopper Transom
- Pass Through
- Single Casement
- Single Hopper
- Single Awning
- Vertical Pivot
- Horizontal Pivot
- Uneven Single Hung
- Uneven Double Hung
Window Shapes for each of these Window Types include:
- Rectangular
- Round
- Half Round
- Quarter Round
- Oval
- Arch
- Trapezoid
- Gothic
- Isosceles Triangle
- Right Triangle
- Peak Pentagon
- Octagon
- Hexagon
And using the Profile Manager, custom shapes can be made as well.
Door Types include:
- Single
- Double
- Single-Dhung
- Double-Dhung
- Double Opposing
- Uneven
- Uneven-Dhung
- Uneven Opposing
- Bifold
- Bifold-Double
- Pocket
- Double Pocket
- Sliding Double
- Sliding Triple
- Overhead
- Revolving
- Pass Through
- Accordion
- Panel
- Communicating
Door Shapes include:
- Rectangular
- Half Round
- Quarter Round
- Arch
- Gothic
- Peak Pentagon
Also using the Profile Manager, custom shapes can be made.
These items are intelligent as well as parametric. This means they work well with the suite of other architectural tools. Doors and windows communicate with the auto-generated
schedule tool, and they understand how to interact with
walls.
This is yet another productivity advance over simply using standard blocks, double lines, and tables in AutoCAD LT.
