Design a new shower with a transom or head gap

In the "**Layout Template"** tab, select a filter option for **''Transom''**

On the right-hand side of the screen, you will now see layout templates for the transom option that you selected. **Double-click** on a layout diagram to select it.

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).

Click on the question mark **(?)** next to the Transom/Head Gap *or* the Door to specify the height of either the Transom/Head Gap or Door. Once you enter the height for one of these, the software will auto-calculate the height of the remaining panel (Transom/Head Gap or Door).

If you want to change the Transom type, right-click on the Transom / Head Gap panel in the diagram.

From the Right-Click menu, you can swap between the different transom types (Fixed, Operable or Head Gap) or remove the transom.

Add a transom or head gap to an existing shower

Click **"Design"** to enter measurements for the Transom.

Click on the question mark **(?)** on the diagram to enter a height for the Transom/Head Gap or the Door. The remaining height will auto-calculate.
