Windowizer

...rename the "Apply" button to, "I say, old chap, would you mind Windowizing that for me, what what?"), but decided that might be a bit much.

LOL

If SketchUp supported "micro-localization", I could offer a deep-South version for the Dixie states ("Y'all Windowize that now, ya hear?"), or a New England cab driver version ("Windowize THIS, you *****!!"), or a close-to-the-49th-parallel version ("Windowize, eh?"). However, I will adamantly resist a "talk-like-a-pirate-day" version ("Aarrgh! Windowize it now, ye filthy sea dog, before I mop the deck with ye!"). Not sure about a Klingon-language version.

Does anyone here speak Bocce?

Esperanto ?

I was going to use Sketchup.get_locale to determine which webdialog file to open. SU is only localized for the versions in my list (according to Google). I suppose that someone could translate the relevant webdialog to their particular language...

Never mind the non-english speakers Rick, just get it released

really looking forward to this one...

Message received.

Okay, here's the update:

added in the front-only option
added in the group/non-group option
added zero-width outside frame handling
(with those two items, setting to front-only and non-group will create things just like Windowizer3 did, just with more capability [generally speaking]).
My short-list for things remaining to do:
Add "Edit" capability, like in W3
Add "Inherit properties" capability, like in W3
Add "Delete" capability, like in W3 (this may be difficult, since W4 will cut openings in "walls" now)
Handle zero-width mullions for butt-glazing
Investigate using components
If there's anything on the list you don't care about, I could put it off 'til the first update. If there's capabilities you want to see, let me know - I'll see what I can do.

Awesome. SketchUp meets Revit.

Any chance for arched, Gothic windows with tracery and such?

It's designed for storefront or curtainwall types of windows like Kawneer and so on. That said, it has been used for all kinds of things I did not expect (and which I have tried to maintain as best I could).

Would everyone who volunteered to translate please PM me your email address? It will be easier for me to handle things that way.

Thanks,

Forgive me for my horrible English.
I love this Script, I find it him very important.
Like you doesn't rest, you could consider those ideas:

1 Configuration interface with previuw in the side.
2 Glaze and aluminum could come in separate objects and groups.
3 Incorporate technology BIM for future modifications in the window?
4 Open hole automatically in the walls, maybe an integration with the Plugin multi-layers Wall?
5 Choose profiles for the metallic part?
6 Save configurations with names for other sessions of use of Sketchup, with hidden file?

Thanks anyway.

RickW

Several of those requested items are already included in version 4.

I am keeping my eyes on this wonderful plugin,
and I don't know if this can be used in building windows freely on curve faces?

Thanks Rick for your V4 upgrade on windowizer. I have used windowizer for independently and ocsssionally with the housebuilder ruby and it works well, if you size the rough openings correctly.
Just a suggestion to check if V4 will continue to work with housebuilder. Are there many out there still using housebuilder.rb? or has it fallen from grace? Do you need any help translating US English to Canadian eh?
Cheers

RickW

While I haven't checked for compatibility, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work with housebuilder.rb (but I could be surprised, I suppose).

Progress update: I learned of a serious bug that requires a fix before release. If I can get done with my day-job deadlines, I'll fix it this weekend.

You bet Thomas, the only thing holding me back from going SU solo.....

Actually, how 'bout a 'doorizer'?
