Stop Tab

The Stop tab allows you to add glass stops to any glass opening. In this example we add glass stops to the windows in panels 3 & 4. Before adding a glass stop, a part number and profile must be specified in the Edit Elevation Frame System window.


Adding Glass Stop Part Numbers#

  1. Head over to the Layout tab and click Edit Elev Frame Sys
  2. At the top of the pop-up window, click the Stock Length Material tab
  3. In the section titled Glazing Adapter and Glass Stop Part Numbers, Click the field under the label Horizontal Stops or Vertical Stops.
  4. Right click the area with red text saying Right Click this Area to Open Parts List
  5. In the Parts List, search for the glass stop part number you will be using
  6. Click Insert Part. (In this example we copied and pasted the same part number for the horizontal stop into the Vertical Stop field).

  1. Now that we have chosen which part numbers to use for the glass stops, and specified their profiles, we can add the glass stops to the drawing.

  3. Input the height at which your glass stops will begin (in this example they will start at the bottom of the window we added to panels 3 & 4)
