In this post I’ll be creating a BIM version of the Pella ThermaStar window (sold at Lowes). You can download the model at the end of the article, or at any time in the BIM section.
I need a model of the new construction version of these windows for a home model I’m working on, and as is usually the case, there is no model available –so one needs to be made. I need the model to be a fair representation only —reasonably accurate in general looks, but very accurate in the areas where it will interact with other elements of the design. If good fit and good looks are possible without too much additional effort, I’ll likely go that route.
Right off the bat (ever had one of those weeks) I hit a little snag. The excellent little add-in created by Brian Hall of Qube-It no longer works after the Service Packs I installed the other day. I tried uninstall/reinstall, repair, etc., to no avail. Bummer. It is a nice tool that I have used quite a bit since installing. Brian describes the tool and how to get it in the video below. I’m sure it will work in other configurations…
