About this asset

This elliptical transom window Revit family provides a low-arch direct-set glazing profile designed to crown patio sliding door assemblies. Modelled as a specialised architectural transom, this unit displays a clean elliptical arch profile designed to sit flush atop exterior doors or matching rectangular windows. The geometry features layered exterior trim with concentric contoured brickmoulding, an interior casing step, and an extruded sub-sill. A single curved glazed panel is bordered by an inset perimeter sash rail. The proportion matches typical wide sliding door spans, presenting flat exterior frame stepped profiles ready for wall integration, clean daylight opening lines, and a smooth radial curvature across the top header.

The download is a 573 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this.rfa window family directly into your Revit project environment and insert it into exterior host walls. Position the base sill accurately along the door head frame using alignment constraints. Material identity slots allow rapid assignment of custom finishes to exterior cladding, interior timber frames, and insulated glazing glass surfaces to ensure coordination with adjacent door schedules and elevations.

Tailored for high-end residential architecture, garden suites, country estates, and hospitality guest rooms, this specialty window element provides dramatic upper daylighting above standard garden-aire sliding units. Pair it with double or multi-panel sliding glass doors to create complete architectural portal assemblies. The component resolves elevation drawings, window schedule takeoffs, and detailed BIM section cuts across design development and construction documentation phases.
