      tomot,
      Should I delete them before installing your new overall 'Windows Tool'.
      I think that might be wise, but you don't mention that all.
      Please fill me in.

      It does not matter when you un-install them before or after,
      and thanks for the reminder

          Here is what prompted my adventure into Ruby and Windows Tools.
          At that time I had created the simple glazing tool, only for my own use.
          Attached is a picture of my design of a Residence for a Client,
          that I photo shopped into the landscape.
          This House is currently now under construction.

              Thank you for the plugin Tomot. I do not seem to be able to get it to work as I am anticipating.

              Is it supposed to cut a double wall?

              Do you have an idiots guide as how to use it.

                No, It does not cut double walls. It uses the same principles that are used in construction everyday, you need determine where your wall openings are first, before you install the window.

                  One should not assume that the Glass Tool or Mullion Tool is capable of defining
                  a rectangular opening only. The opening can be any configuration.
                  As long as the size of the 3 point rectangle is large enough to cover the entire
                  irregular opening. The same holds true for the Mullions. Just make sure those tools
                  are setback sufficiently from the face.

                    Hi Tomot!
                    Can you switch to "cut window" gluing components not groups as the result?
                    There's Didier Bur's ruby to cut thick wall. Even more you could
                    unite 2 scripts.

                      I'm sorry I don't understand your comments.
                      and can you be more specific: what are the exact names
                      of the scripts you are taking about?

                          Hi!
                          Your tools produce groups not components. Correct?
                          Components instead of groups are better idea IMHO.
                          Components with "cut opening" and "glue to any plane" (to cut a single plane-wall) would be the best. (See components-architecture-
                          windows for instance).

                            windows for instance).

                            You have 5 choices available to you:

                            use existing components,
                            make your own components,
                            use Windowizer,
                            use Window Tools,
                            design your own Ruby.

                            In addition once you have made a window with Window Tools, you simply select all the groups right click and make your own component. You can quickly make any number of different windows, and save each as a component.
                            But, if you prefer to use only a "single wall plane" then simply use Windowizer.

                            The reason why I made Window Tools is explained here.

                                  Yes, I'm working on this project, however I'm still unclear
                                  as to how many types of doors, should be included.
                                  probably: single, double, and sliding.
                                  at present I have only single door with right and left hand option.

                                          I have no idea about that, perhaps someone that uses SU on the MAc will let us know.

                                            I am not sure what is happening to me has to do with the fact that I am a mac user but none of your tools offer parameters for creating frames. to be sure, mullions will always be contained within a frame, right?
