[Plugin] 3 point Window
-
I have some ideas but no time frame. It maybe doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it's one of those scripts that will save time for me and hopefully others as well.
A good thing is that you can edit the materials and it will be smart enough to use the updated material instead of creating a new.
Or if you want some windows with different material just rename the existing material and the script will create a new on the next use.It also creates the window as a component with a correct axis. Makes it easier to edit and move.

Thank you Pixero.

Thank you Pixero.
However, I get a Bugsplat every time I use it.
Windows 7 - 64 bit, SU 8.0.15158
-
Ok I never tested it with SU 8.
-
Hmm... just tested it with SketchUp 8 and it works without errors for me.
-
A conflict with another plugin perhaps?

Mr. Pixero
Great plugin, thanks.
It would be of a great help to have a 3 point door plugin. ( as simple as this one, for fast proyects )
Hope one day you can develope it.
Thanks

I like this!
I got one problem when testing it in SU2015, the glass is placed just outside the window frame.
If you could make the window a cutting component, it would work great with my bim-tools plugin
Cheers!

Yes I have found a bug at certain angles and am working on a fix.
-
It should be under: View -> Toolbars -> 3 point Window.
Updated to v1.0.1. Fixed a bug that caused axis problems when drawn at certain angles.
-
Look nice.
I installed it in Sketchup 2014 but I can not find it in plugings list.
I also noticed that the the window does not cut the wall (See through the glass).
Thank you.

This version doesn't cut a hole since my preferred workflow is to make walls with holes.
Who knows what the future brings? I have ideas but no time frame. -
First off Pixero, thanks for a great plug-in. Its simplicity and speed in custom window creation is awesome.
One thing that slows me down is having to over-write the pre-sets each time I re-open the tool. I was thinking no problem, I'll just open the script and modify the parameters... but it's .rbs not .rb, therefore uneditable.
I would like to set the frame and window dimensions once (based on manufacturer specs for the current project) and have it remember them — rather than over-writing with default values on each new use.
So, if you had a way of saving new pre-set values, it would be great. Even better would be multiple pre-sets... for fixed-pane vs operable windows vs window-walls etc.
Request 2 is an option for triple pane windows. (my current projects are both PassivHaus)
I understand not wanting feature-bloat to ruin a simple approach, but each of these features would extend functionality without impeding usability. (though they would obviously make the script itself more complex, so I would understand not wanting to)
Thanks for the consideration.

Remembering settings, it's is on my to do list.

This is a nice little gem...
I've found a bug, though...
When making windows in a wall following the X or Y axis (0 degree), it works great...
However, if you have a wall in i.e. a 45 degree angle, the glass planes become offset...
And even if you continue to do it on a 0 degree wall, the offset is all of a sudden twice as big as on the 45 degree wall...I've attached an image showing what I mean as well as the 'skippy' used for this...

I just tried your scene but couldn't replicate the error.
What version are you using? The current version is 1.0.4. -

I do use ver. 1.0.4 together with SU 2015 Pro on a Win 7 64bit 'puter...And now I can't replicate it either...
