Having established that our building is, at the level of precision required at this phase of the process, more or less what we want, it is time to fill in the canvas a little. Let's start by adding further detail to the external building envelope. We will add some windows to our external walls. We are, by now, aware that our building elements in ArchiCAD are parametric. By altering various parameters that describe those elements, we are able to change them.
Windows are no exception.
At this early stage of our project, we will avoid too much fenestration detail because we wish to assess the building form mainly in terms of solid and void. One way of doing that is to use the ArchiCAD 'empty opening' window type. Another method, which we will use, is the 'ribbon window' library object. We will click the Window tool, select the ribbon window, and adjust the parameters to our liking. Using this tool, we click at the wall on the desired location of the window.
