Hi,

Placing the window on the wall does not cut. Am I missing a step?

Yes. Once the component has been placed on the wall, you must "tell" SU where the window will be (in the width of the wall).
Right-click, select "window and wall / Cut wall from window".
Watch this little flash anim:
(sorry, SWF extension not allowed, so it is zipped)

The controls should be within the flash file. I can't open pure flash files here in my office but I1ll have a look at home.

Also I don't use Wink but Coen does so I'll let him know about this and he can give you some advice maybe.

you can embed Flash during the post

Sorry, I didn't noticed that
Let's see if it works.

EDIT: I only see the wink logo when embedding that:

Hi Didier

I'm having some problems when I enter distance from inner face of wall.

My wall is 400mm, and when I enter 230mm, it places the window 2300mm from the face - there seems to be some small bug here ? I know, I can just enter 23mm, then it's ok, but just wanted to let you know. Nice script

Yes, the distance glitch is fixed. Will upload the patch tomorrow on the depositary, but you can get it right now at my site.

Didier, the link on your site for the cutting windows ruby is "error 404".

Didier Bur

No, I've just tried it, it is OK.
Go to metric Plugins, Architecture section, and then Cutting_Windows.zip.
Here is the direct link:

Aah, thx for that, got the DL. Previously I went to your home page, selected "Newest Plugins" and selected the "Cutting Windows" (which still gives me that error referred to above).
