Very clever tool and thanks.
As it creates a group it is very easy to move back and forth.
Good enough as it stands.

Thanks! But after I have moved about 30 windows back 3" from the face. I
feel like my Grey matter is leaving for greener pastures.

Hi tomot,

Here is a snippet of your plugin with the transformation.



    base.pushpull $ggthick
    self.reset
    normal = base.normal
    normal.length = 2 # how far?
    tr = Geom;;Transformation.translation(normal.reverse)
    group.transform! tr
    model.commit_operation
end

I asked a long time ago for windowizer to have ability to have "0" as the frame, and have it be left out completely... but all I remember getting was a "good idea Fletch"... while never seeing it implemented... I'm still waiting.

until then... this could be useful - thanks for sharing!... and true about the workflow... sometime nice to just draw interactively.

@fletch: Yeah, unfortunately, that happens a lot more than I would like. More ideas than time to implement...

Tomat, thanks very much for the tool.
RickW, Windowizer is one of the most useful tools available. However, could it be adapted to provide an inner frame of a window? I currently push pull through the wall, repair the faces & then use windowizer on both sides of the wall.

Yes I have a working copy, with glazing, frame and exterior trim however, I still have
a few bugs to resolve, before posting it.

In fairness to RickW, he has produced some amazing code.
I think he was the first one to create a dialog box in Ruby.
Without which all input Rubies could not exist.
