As with the WindowGlass.rb (aka simple gazing tool) and the WindowGlassFrame.rb I used the "pick 3 points rectangle" approach to install a screen, grille, or mullions into any rectangular opening.
where can WindowGlassFrame.rb be downloaded from? i could not not find it here nor anywhere.

Windowizer asks for 4 sided face to be selected first. While I use the "pick 3 point rectangle" method.
This is not a criticism of how Windowizer works, it has more to do with my work flow.
I design structures in SU using walls and slabs that have thickness. Then I punch openings in them for windows, doors, stairs etc., later I fill in those openings with the required components.I find the "pick 3 points rectangle' method the most natural way to fill in an opening. If I were to use Windowizer, I have to fill in the opening prior to running the script.
My window routines are not offset only from the front face they are pushpulled so they look the same from the inside.
But then again Windowizer can also draw windows that trapezoidal or parallelogram in shape which the "pick 3 point rectangle" method, cant imitate. So now you have an alternative way of doing windows
