      I tried using the component stringer. It works fine in most cases until you get to unevenly oriented/slanted walls (e.g one wall is facing up, but the angle slowly changes, and then you have a wall that faces down slighty)

      Im thinking that the solution to this could be a plugin that would:
      Draw/Model a "pattern" on a selected surface or surfaces. The "pattern" would be assigned by selecting a component.

          Yes πŸ˜› Thanks, I ment the wholes are slanted in different directions. Each floor is different. This is why I think a "paint surfaces with component" could be very useful

            In this case all your windows or most of them will be different.
            Can you imagine the cost of this?

                Maybe you could find fredoscale useful for this.

                  Perhaps you need to build the mesh and lattice it into windows - EEbyRails then LatticeMaker - one leaving diagonals and the other after manually erasing coplanar diagonals [simple selection tricks...]
                  I know the windows are not all the same width - but hey, this is a quick 5min demo... you have several hours to sort this perfectly...

                    THere is also a plugin called component onto faces wich could help you. You have to correctly position the center of the component though πŸ˜„

                      My solution is not a plugin 😞 and it's a commercial soft 😞 again...
                      It's Paracloud Gem

                      I dream about a simple free plug for SU doing that ! Waiting for it, I've bought the V4 next year.

                          Sad... there is no info on the new version of the web site 😞
                          I said "I've bought the V4 next year", but's not realy true... "My school bought it" is better πŸ˜‰
                          So, I dont realy know the price, but I remember something about 250$ for academic license.
