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).

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?
