A separate tab page for Reveal Settings are available only for certain Doors/Windows that are not part of the standard ARCHICAD library.

Use these controls to customize the various elements of the reveal, such as the Head Depth, Sill/Threshold Depth, Reveal or Sill construction, left and right Jamb Depth and Reveal Depth.

Door/Window Dimension Marker

From the pop-up list, choose a predefined Marker or browse for a different marker object.

To show or hide door/window markers on the plan, use the Door/Window Options in Document > Model View > Model View Options.

For more information, see Model View Options for Construction Elements.

Dimension Markers are essentially parametric GDL objects permanently linked to the opening.

The dimension units of Door/Window markers, and the dimension units of sill heights displayed in Door/Window markers, can be customized in Options > Project Preferences > Dimensions.

For more information, see Dimensions Preferences.

The preview window gives you feedback on the selected Marker’s appearance.

Subfloor Thickness: Use this control if you want the Door/Window marker to indicate a sill height value which takes into account the height difference (if any) between the floor level and the bottom of the wall (for example, due to carpeting or parquet flooring). This value will then be calculated as part of the sill value shown in the Door/Window marker.

This value will not affect the positioning of the Door/Window.
