Select setting: In the list (or tree, depending on grouping) one of the already saved settings can be selected. Using the icon with the floppy disk, the values from the dialog box are saved under the name that appears in the list. The icon to cancel the reduction is not available here.

Any number of replacement settings can be made per window setting. This is particularly relevant when there are several rafter layers and a replacement is to be created in each of these layers. To enter multiple replacement settings, use the rocker under the drop-down list for the setting selection. Using the rocker you simply switch to the next setting. The rocker indicates how many replacements there are in the current setting (rear number) and which setting you are currently in (front number). The trash-can icon at the right end of the rocker can be used to delete the current replacement.
