Changing Opening Type on the view

When a room is assigned to an HVR unit group and the Monodraught HVR® grouping scheme is active, an overlay will be displayed at the top-right of all external windows and doors in the room – when zoomed in sufficiently, this opening will indicate the type of opening using an icon (if the opening is used by the HVR unit(s) in the room) or a drop-arrow (if the opening is not used by the HVR unit(s) or the viewport zoom is insufficient to display the icon):
The icon or drop-arrow acts as a hotspot for the opening, allowing you to access a drop-menu to change its type whenever the standard Select tool is active (indicated by  on the toolbar) – the mouse cursor will change when over the hotspot (  ) to indicate that a menu can be displayed. You can then either left or right click on the hotspot to display the menu:
In the drop-menu, the current type of the opening is indicated in bold – you can select one of the other options to set the opening to function as that type. Note that if External Door/External Window is selected, the opening will no longer be associated with the HVR unit(s) in the room and its previous MacroFlo opening type (and construction, in the case of doors) will be restored (see Opening Type Updates for details).
 
Note that you can also display a balloon tip containing information on the opening and its type by hovering over its hotspot with the mouse cursor (rather than clicking):
  
As with the drop-menu, the balloon tip is only displayed when the Select tool () is active.
