I'm working on my first assembly, a traditional wooden double-hung window with it's jamb. I've begun by creating a tree in which I have...
Window
Sash Set
Top Sash
Bottom Sash
Jamb
Jamb sides
Jamb head and sill
Sills
I didn't want to go into to much detail here but under each sash I've created two rail files two stile files, and could possibly create four glass stop files. I also can have seperate sides for each jamb as well as their parting stops and blind stops. That goes for the head too.
My question is how detailed do I need to make the file structure. The two jamb sides a mirror each other. Each of the sash stiles are mirrored on a vertical axis and the top and bottom sash are kind of mirrored on a horizontal axis. So do I need a separate file for every part even though many are mirrored and sub components of another?
The purpose of this design is to create only two parameters I can change to create new drawings - height and width. Every window I make are identical except if the window is wider, the glass, rails, jamb head, sill and horizontal glass stops are wider. If the window is tallers only the glass, top and bottom stiles, jamb sides and horizontal glass stops are taller.
Thanks!
