    Design a new shower with a transom or head gap

    1
    In the "**Layout Template"** tab, select one of the filter options for **''Transom'':** - No Transom - Fixed Transom - Operable Transom - Head Gap - Stacked Transoms
    2
    On the right, you will now see layout templates for the transom option that you selected. **Double-click** on a layout diagram to select it.
    3
    Enter measurements for each side, including any out-of-squares. The measurement you enter for the height (A) should be the combined height of the door and the transom (or head gap).
    4
    To change the height of the Transom/Head Gap or Door, click on the measurement field next to the Transom/Head Gap or the Door and enter the correct height. Depending on your settings, one of these measurement fields will show as ''Auto'' - this means the height is getting automatically calculated based on the total height entered (A) and your default height setting for doors/transoms. Once you specify the height for one of these, the software will auto-calculate the height of the remaining panel (Transom/Head Gap or Door).
