Adapters here refer to operable window adapters. Glass adapters are better handled in the Glazing Options tab.

This article uses the term opening to refer to areas surrounded by frame assemblies, similar to glass lites or panels.

Opening Options are different combinations of Stops / Operable Window Adapters applied to the perimeter of your openings. Once these options are built out, you can apply them using the Stop/Adapter tool tab.

Components​

This window has dedicated views on the left for Stops and Operable Window Adapters assemblies. These are the same ones listed in the Components tab, and updating in either spot will update both.
