Page elements

Pro

In the K3.veranda, we offer the option of installing side elements between the posts. Here it is important to understand that the number of side elements can be dynamic: depending on the width, you will probably install several posts, so several elements can also be installed at the front.
The situation is very similar with free-standing roofs - here it is also possible to install elements on the rear side with elements.

We offer these side elements:

• Wedge: A wedge can be installed on the left or right side to compensate for the roof pitch.
• Frame wall: Frame walls can be installed on all sides.
• Sliding door: Sliding doors can be installed on all sides.
• Frame sliding door: Sliding frame doors can be installed on all sides.
• Shutter: Shutters (slat walls) can be installed on all sides.
• Privacy screen with superstructure: Screen walls can be installed on all sides. Frame walls or sliding windows can also be installed on these partial-height privacy screens.
• Full-height privacy screen: Full-height privacy screens (plank walls) can be installed on all sides.
• Vertical awnings: Vertical awnings can be installed on all sides.

Feature of the side elements

At the beginning we have to create a special selection of the type Components. We have not used this type in the previous steps, so here is a brief explanation of what is behind it:
Components are dynamic lists. They can therefore contain different numbers of elements. For configuration purposes, we add elements to a component in this way.
The <Komponenten> "Seitenwände" characteristic itself does not require a key. The values contained stand for the four possible sides of a patio roof - left, right, front, back. To do this, please create these Values with corresponding keys:

• "Seitenwand links" [seitenwandLinks]
• "Seitenwand rechts" [seitenwandRechts]
• "Seitenwand vorn" [seitenwandMittig]
• "Seitenwand hinten" [wandHinten]

Filling the page elements

We use one of the most complex functions in K3 for this. The system supports the filling of the component list with a calculated number of side elements.
To do this, we create a "Number of page elements" rule. Unlike all previous rules, this should rules, this rule should not control validities, but regulate the numerical filling of the list. To achieve this, after creating the rule with "Add new columns" in the "Product display" area, we add the option "Fill component characteristics ". In doing so, we select the "Side walls" feature we have just created as a Component characteristic.
In the rule overview, we now create rule lines for all four values of "Side walls". We not only select the value (e.g. "Side wall left"), but also the number. How this looks for the different sides is described below:

Side elements left & right

The first two lines are simple - they probably always offer the option for every roof, to install exactly one left and one right element.

To do this, add "1x side wall left" as the first line and "1x side wall right" as the second line. To set the number, click once on the initial "0 x". A "Quantity" dialog appears, in which you simply enter a "1".

info

You can already check this: Back in the configurator, the "Side walls" feature will already be will already be filled with the corresponding elements (left, right, front rear). You should also already be able to see feedback from the 3D model. If you move the mouse over the side panel in the list the 3D scene will highlight the position of this side element in blue.

Front side element

We must then turn our attention to the somewhat more complex "front side element". Now it is an advantage that you already set the number of posts as a characteristic Teil des ersten Tutorials as a characteristic.

For the front wall, the number of side elements naturally results from the number of posts - a side element is always positioned between two posts. In the simplest case (only two posts, one on the left, one on the right) exactly one side element can be installed - just in between.

If the patio roof is larger and a central post is added, we have two "places" for side elements at the front - to the left and right of the central post.

And so it goes on - the number of side elements at the front is always one less than the number of posts. So we don't write a fixed "1" for the number of side elements as we do for the right and left, but instead calculate the number of side elements from the number of posts.

To do this, we first click on the number field in the rule line for the "Front side wall" (initially "0 x"). A "Number" dialog box appears in which we can enter the number of side elements - not only as a fixed number, but also not only as a fixed number, but also as a formula - in this case "Number of posts-1". The number of posts is a characteristic <Zahl> "Pfostenanzahl" [polesNumber], whose values are usually "Number of posts" depending on the width is defined.
And we can calculate with this value!

info

As soon as you enter a formula instead of a fixed value as the number in a rule line, this is indicated visually as a mathematical symbol:

Page element at the back

We create the rule line for the "Rear side panel" in a very similar way to the "Front side panel". Only the number calculation differs slightly: in the formula field for calculating the number of side panels, we enter Number of side panels we enter variable('Art des Aufbaus').Wert === 1 ? PfostenanzahlHinten - 1 : 0.

info

The feature <Zahl> "PfostenanzahlHinten" is calculated from the feature <Zahl> "Pfostenanzahl" (this is the number of posts in front) - and it is calculated using the formula calculated using the formula
"Pfostenanzahl-1 <= 2 ? 2 : Pfostenanzahl-1"
- this means as much as "If the number of posts minus 1 is less than or equal to 2, then take 2, otherwise take number of posts-1".

And from this characteristic plus the information as to whether we are mounting free-standing or on the wall, we now calculate how many rear side walls can be configured: "If 'Type of structure' = "Freestanding (1)", then there are 'Number of posts at rear' -1 rear walls, otherwise none at all." The formula for this is
variable('Art des Aufbaus').Wert === 1 ? PfostenanzahlHinten - 1 : 0
and please enter this as the "Number" value in the "Rear side wall" line of the "Number of side elements" rule.

tip

A small side note: you cannot simply enter the variable "Type of structure" directly here, but have to write variable('Art des Aufbaus').Wert because there are spaces in the variable name. If the variable was called "type of structure", the formal would be
Aufbauart === 1 ? PfostenanzahlHinten - 1 : 0
When naming characteristics, you therefore decide whether they can be used directly or indirectly in calculations can be used in calculations. If in doubt, the customer's comprehensibility should of course be the deciding factor!

Types of page elements

So far we have created the possibility to make a page element selectable at all at all. Now it goes one level deeper: we have different page element types, and these in turn have different attributes and rules.

To do this, we now need to make the various elements of the "Page elements" component itself configurable.

So select one of the components (e.g. "Side wall left") by clicking on it (somewhere in the area that turns blue when you move the mouse over it - not on one of the pins! not on one of the pins).

You are now "inside" this component - indicated by the sub-navigation
"<- Seitenelemente > Seitenwand links", which shows you that you are in the component "Side wall left" component and the level above is called "Side elements". You can also return to this back by clicking on "Side elements" or the link arrow.

Create a new feature <Liste> "Seitenelementtyp" [seitenwandTyp] here. Make the feature optional (i.e. check "Optional" in the feature under Options).

info

Interesting to know: if you create a characteristic in a component element (here "Side wall left"), it appears for all elements of this component - in this case also for (right, front, back). So you don't have to set up this characteristic four times, but only once!

Now create these values for the characteristic you have just created:

• "Keil" [keil]
• "Rahmenwand" [rahmenwand]
• "Schiebetür" [schiebetuer]
• "Rahmenschiebetür" [rahmenSchiebetuer]
• "Shutter" [shutters]
• "Sichtschutzwand" [plankenwand]
• "Senkrechtmarkise" [senkrechtmarkise]

Finally, create these attributes for the values of the characteristic:

• <nicht übersetzter Text> "Rahmen-Querschnitt" [rahmen]
  • This attribute is entered in the format numberxnumber and interpreted as width x depth in cm. It describes the cross-sections of the profiles of the side element
  • For example 5x5 if you are framing with 5x5 cm profiles
• <nicht übersetzter Text> "Glasdicke" [glas]
  • This attribute is interpreted as a number and describes the glass thickness in cm. For shutters, it describes the thickness of the slats.
• <Zahl> "Lamellenhöhe max." [shutterWidth]
  • This attribute is interpreted as a number and defines the maximum height of an individual slat (strip) in cm for shutters/slat walls.
  • To display the slats correctly, a value for slat height is required, ideally more than 2 cm.
• <Zahl> "hasTyp"
  • This attribute determines whether a page element type has an active value.
  • all page element type values in the above list are created with hasTyp = 1, only the $noSelection value is assigned hasTyp=0. This value only appears if the characteristic "Page element type" has been marked as "Optional" as described above.

info

Important tip on how to proceed

The configuration of the side elements is the most complex area of the K3.veranda. In order not to lose the overview we recommend only displaying the features that make sense for an element type. For example, if we are configuring a wedge, we should hide the "Additional wedge yes/no" feature, because it makes no sense to plan an additional wedge on top of the wedge.

There are various additional features for each element type that only make sense in certain contexts. And the user should only be able to see these - there are few things more frustrating than a selection, that is not understood at first and then has no effect...

We describe this hiding in detail using the wedge as an example; the procedure is similar for the other page element types the procedure is comparable. Don't be surprised: it becomes quite extensive due to the large number of options, but firstly, you only have to do it once at the beginning and secondly, your customers will thank you for it Customers, who appreciate a tidy and comprehensible interface.

If you still have questions, please contact your implementation partner via the channels you are familiar with; as always, our support is available to you via Freshdesk at support@objectcode.de!

So get to work:

Overview of page element rules

Characteristics that only depend on the page element type

With this rule, we hide all features that should not be displayed for a page element type under any circumstances. There are some features that should only be hidden under certain other conditions; we will deal with these in further individual rules we will deal with these in further individual rules. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Page element type
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Page element type	Hide characteristics
No specification	All
Wedge	Door type, door glass material, frame sliding door position, frame sliding door stop, frame wall type, brush type, frame wall material, frame wall material top, frame wall material bottom, additional wedge, handle type, number of shutters, shutter color, shutter design, input type, height selection, height input,

tip

When you arrive here for the first set-up, you have probably not yet created all the features that you should hide according to the above instructions. Here is another tip for the initial setup:

• First create all characteristics of the page elements and name them with a prefixed abbreviation a la "xxx", e.g. "xxxdoor type"
• Only then do you create the dependency rules in which you hide the features that do not belong to this page element type, depending on the page element type. The "xxx" abbreviation then makes it much easier to select these features - you can simply enter "xxx" in the search field and the selection will then together to the much smaller number of page element characteristics.
• After creating all the page element rules, rename the xxx features back to their actual names, i.e. "xxx door type" -> "door type"

Additional wedge dependent characteristics

With this rule, we hide all characteristics that should not be shown if the additional wedge is deselected. Because this logic differs for the page element type "wedge", we need not only the additional wedge but also the page element type for the validity check. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Additional wedge, page element type
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Additional wedge	Page element type	Hide characteristics
Not selected	All except wedge	Wedge section, wedge material, wedge divisions, wedge transparency
Selected	All except wedge	blank
All values	wedge	blank

Additional awning-dependent features

With this rule, we hide all features that should not be shown if the additional marker is deselected. Because this logic differs for the "vertical awning" page element type, we need not only the additional awning but also the page element type for the validity check. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Additional material, page element type
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Additional awning	Page element type	Hide characteristics
Selected	All except vertical awning	blank
Not selected	All except vertical awning	Box color, awning box
All values	Vertical awning	blank

Wedge material-dependent features

With this rule, we hide all features that should not be shown depending on the wedge material. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Wedge material
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Wedge material	Hide characteristics
Aluminum planks	wedge transparency, glass color side
Glass, polycarbonate	blank

Roof pitch-dependent values

Side wedges can only be installed if the roof has a pitch (>0). With this rule, we hide all values that should not be shown depending on the roof pitch. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Roof pitch
• Product structure: Hide values

Roof pitch	Hide values
0	Side element types:Wedge
1-15	Slat orientation

Roof pitch-dependent features

We color glass and polycarbonate roofing using "Roof glass color", slats/trapezoidal sheet metal/corrugated sheet metal using "Roofing color". With this rule, we hide all values that should not be shown depending on the roof pitch. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Roof pitch
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Roofing	Hide characteristics
Clear glass, opal glass, solar, poly clear/opal	Roofing color
Slats, trapezoidal sheet metal, corrugated sheet metal	Roof glass color

Frame wall type-dependent features

For frame walls with crossbars, the material above and below the crossbar can be selected separately. The separate material selections should not be shown for frame walls without cross beams. Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Roof pitch
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Frame wall type	Hide characteristics
Frame wall without transoms	material properties at the top, material properties at the bottom
Frame wall with crossbar	none

Input type-dependent features

The screen wall offers various options for entering the desired height. Depending on the input type, certain additional features must be displayed and others hidden: Basic structure of this rule:

• Validity rule: Check validity checked
• Validity rule: Characteristic combinations: Input type
• Product structure: Hide characteristics

Input type	Hide characteristics
Selection of fixed heights	Height input
Input by numerical feature	Height selection
Full height	Height selection, height input

Wedge

Wedges can usually be installed on the sides of a shed roof. These wedges have several configuration options.

Wedge material

The wedge can be made with various infill materials. Clear glass is used as standard. Feature <Liste> "Keilmaterial" [keilMaterial] is required to further adjust the material selection.
The feature supports these wedge materials:

• "Glas" [glas]
• "Polycarbonat" [poly]
• "Aluminiumplanken" [plank]

Transparency of the wedge

If a glass or polycarbonate wedge is selected, it can be displayed in either clear or opal. We control this via the <Liste> "Keiltransparenz" [glasWedge] characteristic with the values:

• "Klar"[klar]
• "Opal" [opal]

In addition, the attributes

• <Zahl> "Opacity" [opacity] and
• <Zahl> "Roughness" [roughness]
  

must be created and assigned values as for the glass of the covering wie hier beschrieben.

tip

If you offer the user the choice of a wedge made of planks, you should ensure by rule that the transparency of the wedge cannot be selected in this case, as this has no effect.

• new rule "Wedge transparency only for wedge material glass/poly" with
  • Validity rule / "Check validity" checked
  • Validity rules/characteristic combinations = wedge material and
  • Hide product structure/characteristics: checked
• Two rule lines:
  • Wedge material glass, poly -> leave "Hide characteristic" blank
  • Wedge material aluminum plank -> "Hide values" = wedge transparency

Outlet of the wedge

The wedge tapers to 0 cm (pointed) as standard. Often your glazier cannot cut the glass panes to such a sharp point, and the wedge should run out to 10 cm, for example.
To do this, create a characteristic <Zahl> "Keilabschnitt" [keilabschnitt]. The value of the characteristic is interpreted in cm interpreted. 10 therefore ensures a wedge run-out of 10 cm.

tip

This feature cannot usually be changed by the customer. The Hidden feature option is ideal for this. To set the value as it makes sense for you, set the minimum and maximum values to the same value (e.g. "10" for 10 cm).

Wedge pitch

The wedge can be divided evenly with a profile. To do this, create a characteristic <Zahl> "Keilteilung" [keile] to do this. The value of this characteristic describes the visualized number of divisions in the wedge.

Useful calculations of the wedge

Wedges with 0 degree roof pitch

A rule is often used to specify that no wedge can be installed on roofs with no roof pitch. You can create a validity rule "Wedge only for roof pitch >0" for this purpose:

• new rule "Wedge only for roof pitch >0" with
  • Validity rule / "Check validity" checked
  • Validity rules/characteristic combinations = roof pitch and
  • Hide product structure/values: checked
• Two rule lines:
  • Roof pitch 0 -> "Hide values" = Page element type:Wedge and
  • Roof pitch 1-15 -> leave "Hide values" blank

Wedge only left and right

A rule is often used to specify that wedges can only be installed on the left and right side of all roofs can be installed. You can create a validity rule for this:

• new rule "Side elements per side - validity" with
  • Validity rules/characteristic combinations = side elements and
  • Hide product structure/values: checked
• A rule line with
  • Page elements = front side panel, back side panel and
  • "Hide values" = Page element type:Wedge

Frame wall

A frame wall (or fixed glazing) in the side elements is also possible.
We support further configuration features for the frame walls:

Crossbar in the frame element

We support a crossbar in the frame element.
If you want to offer this option, a <Liste> "Rahmenwandtyp" [rahmenwand] feature must be created.
The values of the characteristic can have the following keys:

• "Rahmenwand ohne Querbalken" [typ1] (default)
• "Rahmenwand mit Querbalken" [typ2]

The crossbar is always installed in the center of the frame wall.

Frame wall material

The material of the frame wall can be differentiated between glass and polycarbonate. To do this, a characteristic <Liste> "Rahmenwand-Material" [seitenwandglas] must be created.
This characteristic can contain any values.
The characteristic requires an attribute <Zahl> "Glas" [glas] All values of the characteristic with this attribute set to 1 become glass, all with the value 0 become polycarbonate.

Material properties top and bottom

The material properties of the frame wall can also be set. In the case of an installed a built-in crossbar, the user can also make 2 selections for the top and bottom. If no crossbar is set, the selection of the lower material quality is used for the entire element.

Two characteristics must be created for this:

1. <Liste> "Materialbeschaffenheit unten" [glasunten]
   The characteristic can have the following values with keys:

• "Klarglas" [klar]
• "Opalglas" [opal]

2. <Liste> "Materialbeschaffenheit oben" [glasoben]
   The characteristic supports the following values:

• Key: clear for clear glass
• Key: opal for opal glass

Both features require the attributes:

• <Zahl> "Opacity" [opacity]
• <Zahl> "Roughness" [roughness]

These attribute values can control the material properties of the clear/opal variants and are assigned values in the same way as for the glass of the covering wie hier beschrieben.

Frame wall with wedge

It is possible to use a frame wall with wedge. There is a separate section for this, as this Wedge can also be used with other side panel types.
See hier.

Frame wall with vertical awning

It is possible to use a frame wall with a front-mounted vertical awning. There is a separate section for this, as this vertical awning can also be used with other side element types.
See hier.

info

Regulation of the frame wall

Analogous to the calculation of the wedge: hide all features that do not interact with the frame wall. You should only hide the features that are not used on the frame wall under any circumstances. Features, that are to be displayed under certain conditions should not be hidden. These are controlled by further rules.
Example: a frame wall does not initially require an awning box shape. However, you can select the "Additional awning" here - then we need both the awning box shape and the box color.

Material properties top and bottom

Discuss

Sliding door

The sliding door also offers further configuration options.

Sliding door brush type

Brushes can be installed between the doors placed in front of each other.
These are also visualized.
A <Liste> "Bürstentyp" [buerstentyp] characteristic must be created for this. This characteristic supports the following values:

• "Bürsten verbaut" [ja]
• "Keine Bürsten verbaut" [nein]

Sliding door handles

We support different types of handles for the sliding door.
A <Liste> "Grifftyp" [griff] feature must be created for this.
The feature supports the following values:

• "Nur die erste Tür hat einen runden Griff verbaut" [rund]
• "Nur die erste und letzte Tür hat einen runden Griff verbaut" [startEnd]
• "Alle Türen haben einen Muschelgriff verbaut" [muschel]
• "Keine Griffe verbaut" [none]

Sliding door panel material

The filling material of the sliding door can be selected between glass and plank wall. A <Liste> "Füllmaterial" [wallMaterial] feature must be created for this.
The feature supports the following values:

• "Glaseinsatz" [glas]
• "Plankenfüllung" [plank]

Sliding door handle height

The handle height of the sliding door can be selected to the nearest mm using a numerical feature. A <Zahl> "Griffhöhe" [handleHeight] feature must be created for this.
The characteristic defines the height of the door handle in mm from the bottom edge of the door leaf.

Sliding frame door

The selection of the door variant is controlled by feature <Liste>"Türentyp"[frameDoorTyp]. required. Possible values for this feature are

• "Zweiteilige Schiebetür mit Rahmen" [typ1]
• "Vierteilige Schiebetür mit Rahmen" [typ2]

The glass material of the sliding frame door is controlled via feature <Liste>"Türglasmaterial"[doorTexture]. Possible values are:

• "Opal"[opal]
• "Klar"[klar]

These values still require the attributes:

• <Zahl>"Transparenz"[opacity]
• <Zahl>"Oberflächenrauhheit"[roughness]

These work in the same way as the usual glass definitions wie hier beschrieben.

The positioning of the sliding frame door is determined by the feature <Ja/Nein>"Position der Rahmenschiebetür"[slidingDoorPos] with the values:

• Ausgewählt: "Aussenliegend montiert"
• Nicht ausgewählt: "Innenliegend montiert"

The door hinge of double-leaf sliding frame doors is controlled by the feature <Ja/Nein> "Anschlag der Rahmenschiebetür" [slidingPosition] with the values:

• Ausgewählt: "Linksanschlag"
• Nicht ausgewählt: "Rechtsanschlag"

Shutter

The number of shutter elements is controlled via the <Zahl>"Anzahl der Shutter" [shutterAnzahl] feature. You will not normally present this characteristic to the customer for selection, but create it in a hidden form and use a rule to fill it with values that match the dimensions of the page element.

The type of design is controlled via the characteristic <Ja/Nein>"Ausführung" [slidingRail] with the values:

• Ausgewählt: "Ausführung als Schiebeelement"
• Nicht ausgewählt: "Ausführung als feste Wand"

Finally, the shutter can be given its own color - this is controlled via the characteristic <Farbe>"Farbe des Shutters" [shutterColor]

Privacy element

The screen element is the most complex element within K3.veranda.
It can be configured in many ways:

Types of height input for the privacy screen

There are three ways to specify the height of the privacy screen.

• Via a selection list with predefined heights,
• by entering a number or
• as the "Full height" option.

The 3D scene recognizes the input type using the <Liste> "Eingabetyp" [plankHeigTyp] feature with the following values:

• "Auswahl fester Höhen" [default] (see below)
• "Eingabe per Zahlenmerkmal" [individuell] (see below)
• "Volle Höhe" [full] (see below)

Selection of fixed heights

To select fixed heights, a <Liste> "Höhenauswahl" [plankHeightLeft] angelegt werden sowie ein Attribut ´<Zahl> "Höhe" [plankHeightLeftAttr].
You can create any values, the value in the height attribute is interpreted as cm and then controls the height of the privacy screen.

Individual input

To enter an individual height, a <Zahl> "Höheneingabe" [plankHeigtInput] characteristic must be created.
This number variable requires no further settings and is interpreted in cm.

Structure on privacy screen element

A sliding window or a frame wall can be created on the privacy screen element.
A <Liste> "Aufbau auf dem Sichtschutzelement" [plankenwandtyp] characteristic must be created for this with the following values:

• "Aufgebautes Schiebefenster" [seitenwand]
• "Aufgebaute Rahmenwand" [typ1]

info

Please note that if a sliding window is selected, the features of the sliding door also apply to the rest of the configuration. The same applies to the configuration of the frame wall.

Reference to type (manual entry or selection)

info

The settings for the privacy screen can become really complex due to the combinatorics of the structure.
It is also possible, for example, to introduce an additional side wall type, e.g. "Full height privacy screen" and ensure that the height input type is set to full height in this case.
This way you can improve the user experience for your customers.

Bar of the privacy screen element

info

We are working on a way to make the bar of the privacy screen element configurable.

Vertical awning

The vertical awning can also be further configured.

Vertical awning: box shape

A vertical awning can also have different box shapes.
A <Liste> "Senkrechtmarkisenkastenform" [verticalMarqueeTyp] characteristic must be created for this.
This supports the following values:

• "Eckiger Markisenkasten" [eckig]
• "Vorne abgerundeter Markisenkasten" [rund]
• "Markisen ohne Markisenkasten" [ohne]

Vertical awning: Box position, height and width

The <Liste> "Senkrechtmarkisenkastenform" [verticalMarqueeTyp] feature also supports these attributes:

• Attribute <nicht übersetzter Text> "Kastenposition" [position]
  • Value "Innenliegende Markise zwischen den Pfosten" [in]
  • Value "Außenliegende Markise auf den Pfosten" [out]
  • Value "Mittig verbaute Markise auf den Pfosten" [center]
    (usually only in conjunction with "Awnings without awning box")
• Attribute <Zahl> "Kastenhöhe" [height]
  • The value indicates the height of the box in meters.
• Attribute <Zahl> "Kastentiefe" [width]
  • The value indicates the depth (measured inwards) of the box in meters

Vertical awning: Box color

You can set the color of the box using the <Farbe> "Senkrechtmarkisenkastenfarbe> [verticalMarqueeMetalColor] attribute.
Colour values of this characteristic are interpreted and visualized directly.

Vertical awning: Fabric color

You can set the fabric color of the vertical blind using feature <Farbe> "Senkrechtmarkisenstofffarbe" [verticalMarqueeColor].
Colour values of this characteristic are interpreted and visualized directly.

Further control parameters

There are control parameters that can affect several side element types at the same time.

Additional wedge

It is not only possible to install a single wedge on the side.
Often the wedge must be selected for this, e.g. if:

• You offer a frame wall only with a wedge at the top,
• You only offer a sliding door with a wedge at the top or
• You only offer a privacy screen with a wedge at the top.

For these cases, there is the <Ja/Nein> "Zusatzkeil"[zusatzKeil] feature with these values:

• "Nicht ausgewählt" [nein]
• "Ausgewählt" [ja]

If this feature is selected, an additional wedge is installed.

info

Make sure that all Keileinstellungen also apply in this case.

tip

If you want no additional wedge per page to be selected by default, look in the values of the feature: there, move the value "Selected" with the up/down arrows below "Not selected", then "Not selected (i.e. NO additional wedge) becomes the default value.

Additional awning

In addition to a stand-alone vertical awning, this can also be configured in other situations.
For example, it can be combined with:

• A frame wall,
• a sliding door or
• a privacy screen element with superstructure.

Feature <Ja/Nein> "Zusatzmarkise" [verticalMarquee] is suitable for this. In this case, the characteristic values do not require keys. If a value is selected for this feature, an additional awning is installed.

info

Make sure that all Markiseneinstellungen also apply in this case.

tip

If you do not want an additional awning to be selected per side by default, look in the values of the feature: move the value "Selected" with the up/down arrows below "Not selected", then "Not selected (i.e. NO additional awning) becomes the default value.

Maximum height of the side wall

It is possible to limit the maximum height of the frame wall, frame sliding door and sliding door.
This is done using the <Zahl> "Maximalhöhe Seitenwand" [maxHeight] feature.
