        It's almost instant procedure when used with shortcuts:
        "Select with the same material*"-> Group-> JPP (with border-NONE option ON).

          yes this is ok however the offset for all shapes with the same color/material work only step by step. try to imagine you have a building with more than 1000 windows and doors. 😲

          tnx for further suggestions and answers.

          Stay all healthy, no matter where you live.

            it seems to me there is something wrong in your workflow. There are tones of window makers, frame makers free and for $$. No need to do it manually.
            Another point.. you should make one developed window and then populate it around.Need variations? Take existing window and stretch it with 'stretch by area' plugin.
            Another point.. there're component replacement plugins, if you have simple windows already in place you can easily substitute them with complex one. Yes. Even thousands simultaneously..
