      After placing a glueable window on the wall, right click on the window and select "Cut Opening in Wall". That seems to be working on our Mac.

      rich,

      my point is exactly this: i can find no command for placing a window, just for cutting holes on the wall. would you care to tell me how do i place a window on the wall? where do i click, etc.

        There aren't any component placing tools in this plugin.

        Just use Window/Components/Select/Architecture/DC Doors and Windows to select and place a window on the wall. I select something like "Scalable Double Hung Window".

        After you click on the right click edit, Cut Opening in Wall, we look for the glueable edges in the component to get the opening size and then cut the opening in the wall.

            Hi, I can see RpWallMaker being useful, though I would like to see the following changes:

            1. Place the wall offset from the drawn line, rather than making the drawn line the centre line of the wall (or have the option of offsetting at least). This would enable working with imported dwg. files and actual internal or external dimensions.

            2. The hole insertion point would be easier to use if located on the top corner of the rectangle. Lintels over openings often align even if openings are of differing heights.

            3. If openings were sub components of the wall, they would be easier to select and then move when the wall is exploded or edited.
