Thank you for your interest in Aluprof’s products.
Welcome to the group of professionals using BIM models in Autodesk® Revit. All of our Revit
families are created on the basis of our company’s real products.

In this document we would like to present the possibilities of the BIM models of MB-86N
windows and doors.

1. Technical parameters of MB-86N windows.

AIR PERMEABILITY Class 4, EN 12207

WATERTIGHTNESS up to class E4800 Pa, EN 12208

WIND LOAD RESISTANCE up to class C5, EN 12210

THERMAL INSULATION Uw = 0, 67 W/(m2K)

CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL RECYCLATE 69,2%

2. Technical parameters of MB-86N doors.

AIR PERMEABILITY Class 4, EN 12207:2001

WATERTIGHTNESS up to Class E1350 Pa, EN 12208

WIND LOAD RESISTANCE up to Class C5, EN 12210

Ud = 0,9 W/(m2K) for 1-sash door

THERMAL INSULATION1
Ud = 1,0 W/(m2K) for 2-sash door

CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL RECYCLATE 69,2%

1 The U value has been calculated with the following assumptions:

- two-chamber glazing with Ug=0,5 W/m2*K
- a warm edge space bar
- MB-86N SI window dimensions: L x H = 1230 x 1480 mm (fixed window)
- MB-86N SI+ door dimensions: L x H = 1112 x 2190 mm (1-sash)
Lx H = 1485 x 2190 mm (2-sash)

For other calculation variants please contact the Aluprof’s Technical Support Department.
3. The MB-86N windows.

There are seven Revit families for two variants of thermal insulation (ST/SI) available
for download, created according to the configuration of sashes and opening type:
• Single FIX window
• Single Tilt and Turn window
• Double Tilt and Turn + FIX window
• Double Tilt and Turn + Side-hung window
• Double Tilt and turn window with floating mullion
• Vertical Bottom-hung + FIX window
• Corner FIX window
• Corner FIX window with structural glazing

In Edit Type under Dimensions group, there is a parameter called Exterior wall face
offset which controls the value of the structure offset from the outer wall surface
(40 mm by default) and a Mounting space parameter, which determines the depth
of the mounting space (15 mm by default).

3.1. Inserting the corner window.

With the corner window in place in the wall, lock the window reference plane to
the outer face of the wall:
 STEP 1 – Type AL or go STEP 2 – Then select the
to Modify -> Align tab window reference plane
and pick the wall face as shown below.
at first.

STEP 3 – Lock the alignment

by clicking the padlock.

Thanks to this, when changing the wall type, the window will remain in the same place
and will move according to the specified value of Exterior wall face offset parameter
as well.

3.2. Window parameters.

Aluprof’s window models contain additional parameters for adjusting wall cut-outs.
There are four instance parameters changing the width of wall jambs: Jamb left /
Jamb right / Jamb top / Jamb bottom. In order to adjust void space under the frame
change the value in Mounting space bottom type parameter.
Important! In order for the model to behave correctly while changing dimensions the
desired value should be inserted into the parameter. Changing dimensions with the
grips may result in incorrect geometry adjustment.

The outer face of the frame has been set as the wall closure point.
A new detail category called MB_detail has been added to the models. All the low
and medium detail lines can be modified in the Object Styles tab at once. In order
to change the graphics of the high level details use the imported AutoCAD layers.

4. The MB-86N Doors.

There are four Revit families available for download:

• Outward opening single door
• Inward opening single door
• Outward opening double door
• Inward opening double door
4.1. Parameters of the doors.

For both windows and doors, in Edit Type under Dimensions group, there is
a parameter called Exterior wall face offset which controls the value of the
structure offset from the outer wall surface (20 mm by default) and a Mounting
space parameter which determines the depth of the mounting space (15 mm by
default).
Additionally, door models contain a Mounting space bottom type parameter that
can be used to adjust the void space under the sill and an instance Floor finish
level parameter.
The door models contain a parameter IsDoorOpen/IsPassiveLeafOpen that allows
to open one or both sashes. However, the passive sash can only be opened after
opening of the active sash first.

The Room Calculation Point has been added to facilitate creation of schedules
(see image below). Similarly to window models, the outer face of the door frame
marks the Wall Closure and the models are equipped with a new MB_detail detail
lines category.
4.2. Thermal variant SI+.

The doors of the MB-86N system are available in three thermal variants (ST/SI/ SI+).
The models of ST and SI variants are created as individual families. In order to get
the SI+ thermal variant, firstly open the desired model of MB-86N SI door and then
in Edit Type under Model Properties tick a Thermal variant SI+ parameter. The
details of the model and parameter’s values will adjust automatically.

4.3. Clearance Zone.

The Clearance Zone is visible by default. To turn it off, go to Visibility/Graphics

Overrides (VG keybord shortcut) → go to the Door or Window section →
uncheck the Clearance Zone.
4.4. Door handle configurations.

The availability of door handle configurations depends on the door opening type
(inward or outward). The following configurations can be found in our models:
• Door knob - Handle
• Touchbar - Handle
• Handle - Handle
5. MB-86N models for curtain wall.

There are five Revit families available for download:

• Outward opening single door
• Inward opening single door
• Outward opening double door
• Inward opening double door
• Inward opening single window (in three types: Tilt&Turn, Single-side
Casement, Bottom-hung Casement)

All of above Revit families are compatible with most of Aluprof’s facades that are
available for download on our website:

In order to place a Revit model in a façade, firstly you have to load it into the target
project, then select with the TAB button the panel in which a window or a door model
is to be inserted, then “unpin” the selected panel by clicking on the pin and choose
the desired MB-86N model from the dropdown list.
5.1. Geometry of the door and window models.

Both window and door models contain a parameter IsWindowOpen /

IsWindowTilted / IsDoorOpen that enables users to “open” the objects in the
façade.

The MB-86N window: Tilt and Turn can be open in two different ways, however
only one opening option should be checked at once.

Similarly to the wall-based door, models contain a 3D clearance zone and the
possibility to change the configuration of handles.
 6. Additional Parametrs

The MB-86N window & door Revit families have a number of additional parameters
that can be included in schedules:

Access control
Door Closer
Door sill type
DOORS Hardware
Handle type
Right-hand / Left-hand door
Schedule No.
Hardware
WINDOWS Handle type
Schedule No.

These parameters have been left blank to be filled by the user.

In addition to the parameters directly related to the model properties, our Revit
families include information about the COBie, IFC and UniFormat, MasterFormat
standards.

IMPORTANT! The models are created based on the sample cross-sections from
Aluprof's catalogues and do not constitute a binding offer. In order to verify the
applied solutions and to meet the technical requirements, please contact the
Aluprof's Technical Support Department. Contact details can be found at:
