[Plugin] Window Tools: Revised, 4 tools, incl. icons.
-
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. -

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). -

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).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.
I have been in Residential design and construction for 39 years, during that time, I have never considered designing a 3d envelope using single planes for my Clients.

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. -
How about adding a pair of bifolds.

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?

Thank you very much
