Map the open sash envelope

The sash projects outward and upward. Show soffits, eaves, gutters, lights, screens, fans, shade structures and nearby roofs.

Protect the service path

Confirm the sash edge and hardware remain above normal head height and away from seating, cooking and circulation.

Plan closing reach

Counter depth, height and sash size determine whether a person can reach the handle safely or needs a pull bar or motorized option.

Use the exact opening angle

Strut geometry and hardware control the final angle. Do not assume every sash stops at exactly ninety degrees.

Turn the guide into a real opening schedule.

Keep every dimension, option, pressure, document, and delivery note connected to the same opening ID.
