To finish off this punched opening, what I'll do is I'll then set the panels to what I want them to be.

To finish off this punched opening, what I'll do is I'll then set the panels to what I want them to be. So these two on the top, we're going to make those a metal panel, but for now we're going to set them as our generic 8-inch wall type. Because when we come back in a later video and adjust these to be the actual wall types we want, then we can go ahead and update these guys as well.

The next thing is going to be to set our mullions. So I'll go to the mullion tool here and set it to the two and a half by five. And then I can tell it to work on all grid lines here.

And if I do that, you have to keep in mind that it's going to go to all of them, but all the ones above this line here, I don't want to show up. So I'm just going to do it with the actual grid line. And that way I can put it on the ones I want only.

And then I can go back in and I can delete it from these three at the top. And I could use the segment tool, but that would have been more clicking in the long run. Now what we have here is a window with a spandrel panel on the top.

The next thing we need to do is make sure it's positioned correctly in the wall. And I want to bring it back so the mullion face lines up here. So I'll move it back a couple inches here so that the whole thing lines up on the back.

And then what'll happen is because the wall thicknesses are going to have some variation, I'll have a step here that gives me a bit of relief going down. So it just creates a little bit more interest. Now that we have it all set up, we can use this template here to apply to the rest of the windows at the different openings.
