For verticals slotting into Can / Stick systems, those systems will typically use Head Receptor and Sill Receptor for their heads and sills.

Left Jamb Assemblies / Right Jamb Assemblies - Vertical frame assemblies at the left and right edge of the opening.
Vertical Assemblies - Intermediate vertical frame assemblies.

Butt glazed systems can be achieved by setting the profile of the Vertical Assembly to 0".

Stops / Operable Window Adapters - Special assemblies at panel perimeters to handle operable windows and other edge cases. These are the same components found in the Opening Options tab.
- See Opening Options for more details.

Other components cover individual parts in common use cases, including:

Glazing Gasket - Measures the perimeter of the DLO + Glass Bite for each glass panel in an elevation to generate the length of these parts.
Perimeter - Measures the perimeter of the framing system to generate the length of the these parts.
Per Elevation - Multiplies these parts by the number of times this framing system is applied to elevations in your job.
Per Lite - Multiplies these parts by the number of panels in the elevation.
