How it works

One screen. Five steps.

01Start a job

Name it once: it goes on every export.

02Add a type

Blank, a standard size, or one of your past jobs.

03Shape it

Sizes, sections and how each one opens, on the drawing.

04Glass and color

Standard glass comes first. Ratings follow.

05Export

36 × 24 sheet, DXF, CSV and the submittal.

Step 1

Start a job.

  • Type the project, address, architect and date. They print on the sheet and name the files.
  • My jobs opens a schedule you made before.
  • + New job starts an empty schedule. Every job is kept in your browser.
The job bar of the tool: project, address, architect and date, with My jobs and New job
The standard sizes window: a grid of Vi5 window and door types to pick from
Step 2

Add a window type.

  • + New type adds a Vi5 casement to shape.
  • Standard sizes: Vi5 sizes we build again and again.
  • From a past job: copy windows from your own earlier schedules.
  • Each type is checked against our published sizes: Published, or Ask us. When it says Ask us, our engineering reviews it.
Step 3

Size it. Then shape it on the drawing.

  • Mark, count and location, for the schedule.
  • Frame size: 48, 4′-0″, 48 1/2 or 1219 mm (48″) all work.
  • Click a section to edit it. + adds a section on that side. The window grows; the others keep their size.
  • Make it fixed, casement, hopper or door, and set the hinge side, seen from outside.
  • Click any blue size on the drawing to type a new one.

The glass list: each glass with its makeup, U-factor, SHGC, VT, STC, OITC and its price in words
Step 4

Glass and color. The ratings follow.

  • Only glass certified for every part of the type is listed. Our standard glass is first.
  • Price in words: Standard, Slight, Moderate, High, Higher.
  • Color outside: Black is standard. Color inside: White is standard. The full range is under More colors.
  • Simple shows the main ratings. Detailed adds structural, test reports and certificate numbers.
Step 5

Export the schedule.

  • Every type is a row. Click one to open it again.
  • Schedule sheet: the 36 × 24 sheet, every type at 1/2″ = 1′-0″.
  • CAD · DXF: every elevation on one floor line, plus the table.
  • Table · CSV: the schedule for a spreadsheet.
  • Submittal: hands the types and glass to the Vistaza submittal maker.
The schedule table: one row per window type with sizes, glass, ratings and color, and the export buttons
What you get

The sheet, the DXF, the table.

The 36 by 24 schedule sheet: every window type drawn at one scale with its ratings, then the schedule table and a title block
The 36 × 24 sheet

As the tool prints it. Every type at 1/2″ = 1′-0″ with its ratings, then the table and your title block.

The DXF opened in CAD: every window elevation standing on one floor line, with the schedule table below
The DXF and the table

The DXF, opened in CAD: every elevation on one floor line, and the table. One drawing unit is one inch.

The CSV has one row per type: mark, layout, sizes, sill and head, count and areas, glass, U-factor, SHGC, STC / OITC, light and air, color, location, the size check and the NFRC certificate numbers.

Good to know

Four things worth knowing first.

  • Doors stand on the floor: their sill stays at zero and the head is the door height.
  • Your jobs are kept in your browser. Come back on the same computer and browser to find them.
  • Ask us, in amber, means outside our published Vi5 sizes. Send it; our engineering reviews it.
  • Ratings are the certified values for the glass you picked, per part. The whole window takes its lowest part.
