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-86
windows and doors.
1. Technical parameters of MB-86 ST windows.
AIR PERMEABILITY Class 4, EN 12207:2001
WATERTIGHTNESS up to class E1500, EN 12208:2001
WIND LOAD RESISTANCE up to class C5, EN 12210:2001
THERMAL INSULATION1 Uw = 0,72 W/(m2K)
CONTENT OF THE ALUMINUM RECYCLATE 69,2%
2. Technical parameters of MB-86 ST doors.
AIR PERMEABILITY Class 4, EN 12207:2001
WATERTIGHTNESS Class E 1350, EN 12208:2001
WIND LOAD RESISTANCE Up to Class C1/B2, EN 12210:2001
THERMAL INSULATION1 Ud = 1,16 W/(m2K)
CONTENT OF THE ALUMINUM RECYCLATE 69,2%
1 The U value has been calculated for MB-86 ST with the following assumptions:
- two-chamber glazing with Ug=0,5 W/m2*K
- a warm edge space bar
- window dimensions: L x H = 1230 x 1480 mm (single fixed sash)
- door dimensions: L x H = 1500 x 2115 mm (single sash with sidelight)
For other calculation variants please contact the Aluprof’s Technical Support Department.
3. The MB-86 windows.
There are six Revit families 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
• 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 (20
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.
4. The MB-86 doors.
There are three Revit families available for download:
• Outward opening single-sash door with sidelight
• Outward opening double-sash door with fanlight
• Outward opening single-sash door with fanlight
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).
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.
4.2. 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.
4.3. 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. Additional Parametrs
The MB-86 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 Uniclass 2015 standards.
We hope this short tutorial will help you use our BIM models more effectively in your projects.
