        However, I get a Bugsplat every time I use it.

        Windows 7 - 64 bit, SU 8.0.15158

              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! πŸ˜„

                  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 πŸ˜‰

                  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 β€” 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.

                                      This is a nice little gem... πŸ‘

                                      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.

                                          That's odd... 😐
                                          I do use ver. 1.0.4 together with SU 2015 Pro on a Win 7 64bit 'puter...

                                            Hi all
                                            The bug depends on the way you draw the three points.
                                            Left top>Right top>Right bott will build the window properly. β˜€
