Example motor assemblies for architectural coverings are described herein. An example architectural covering assembly includes an architectural covering movable between an upper limit position, a lower limit position, and a transition limit position between the upper limit position and the lower limit position. The example architectural covering assembly also includes a motor, a consumer touchpoint, and an architectural covering controller. In response to detecting a first gesture at the consumer touchpoint, the architectural covering controller is to activate the motor to move the architectural covering to the transition limit position and stop, and in response to detecting a second gesture at the consumer touchpoint, different from the first gesture, the architectural covering controller is to activate the motor to move the architectural covering through the transition limit position and to the upper limit position or the lower limit position.

An expandable shelter includes a ceiling panel that unfolds from a top, a floor panel that unfolds from a bottom, a flexible sidewall having a first end coupled to the ceiling panel and a second end coupled to the floor panel. The flexible sidewall further includes a window disposed in the sidewall, and a shade to cover the window. The shade is configured to transition between a closed state and an open state. A first line and a second line couple to the shade, extend between an interior of the expandable shelter and an exterior of the expandable shelter, and are usable to transition the shade between the closed state and the open state.

The present disclosure describes roll-up coverings of custom length and/or width for architectural openings, and a method of assembling the same. The custom covering includes at least one outer elongate tape, at least one inner elongate tape, and a plurality of slats. The tapes preferably have lengths along central longitudinal axis extending between first ends and second ends of the tapes that are selected to correspond to the custom length of the covering. The slats are preferably transverse to, spaced apart along, and coupled to the tapes at any desired location along the tape lengths to achieve desired spacings of the slats, thereby providing a subassembly of custom length. The slats may have lengths extending between first ends and second ends of the slats, orthogonal to the central axis of the tapes, and selected to provide a custom width of the subassembly.

A motorized sheer shading system may move a sheer shade material between an open position, a closed position, and a view position. The shading system may move the sheer shade material from the open position to the closed position at a first average rotational speed, and from the closed position to the view position at a second average rotational speed. The shading system may automatically determine a control limit that corresponds to the closed position of the sheer shade material after control limits have been set for the open position and the view position. The shading system may cause the sheer shade material to stop moving once it reaches the closed position if the raise button of a remote control is still depressed, and may cause the sheer shade material to stop moving once it reaches the closed position if the lower button of the remote control is still depressed.

Examples of the present disclosure relate to various aspects of architectural structure coverings. A particular aspect relates executing a reset mode for one or more of architectural structure coverings. In said aspect, reset data is sent by an architectural structure covering indicating that this covering is in the reset mode. A user device receives the reset data, presents a user interface that identifies selectable reset actions. Upon a user selection of one of the reset actions, a reset instruction about the reset action is sent from the user device to the architectural structure covering that then performs the reset action.

A method of fabricating a shade panel includes forming a shade panel including a plurality of cells, wherein each of the cells has a front portion and a rear portion opposite to each other, stretching the shade panel, wherein each of the cells includes a bend in the front portion that protrudes away from the rear portion when the shade panel is stretched, and pressing the front portion including the bend and the rear portion against each other to form a crease in the front portion of each of the cells.

The present disclosure relates to multi-layered fabrics and coverings for architectural features and methods for manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional multi-layered fabric having a first or front exterior layer, a plurality of intermediate or interior layers, and a second or back exterior layer, which are separable from one another, and their method of manufacture, and panels and/or coverings for architectural features having or comprised of a multi-layered fabric, and methods of making the same. The plurality of interior layers extends between the exterior layers, and the separation and stitching of the two paired intermediate layers from at least one of the front exterior layer and back exterior layer are at different locations (points), respectively, which facilitates the formation of a cell, and controls the size and shape of the cell that may form between the two paired, intermediate layers.
