Windowizer3
-
Am I doing something wrong with Windowizer3? If you look at the 2 images below, I have created a window using the Windowizer3 plugin and from the external view, it looks fine (first image) but when you look at the window from the internal view, it is a set of reversed faces (no frame, no mullion, no transparency).
External view
Internal view
The plugin does what I need (very basic stuff) except that I need the window to be complete but externally and internally.

Try Pixero's window generator it might be more what you're looking for.

Problem with that one is that it only creates single pane windows.

That's actually not true...
It creates a double plane window... -
Windowizer 4 does exactly what you are looking for. I'd suggest getting it as the low price is worth it.
-
Frederik is a little bit stoned... What is a double plane window?
I would prefer the old free Plugins "Lattice-izer" and "Lattice Maker" - belief both by TIG. -
double plane window

can you link it?
Or do you mean 3 point window?

Yeah, but it's the spelling, Double Pane not Double Plane.
But then if you want to get picky, it's Believe not Belief.

That's the one...

Well... A little room for spelling mistakes would be in order here...
English is not my native tongue, but if people don't like a few spelling errors from non native English speakers/writers, then I'm out of here...
-
I thought it was funny that a German was correcting a Danes English and then making a spelling error while doing it.
-
Excuse Frederik. That was not meant so seriously. Have too much cigarette smoke breathed so ... please do not go out off the forum!

I, for one, am immensely impressed with anyone who can be even reasonably articulate in more than one language, let alone in a technical field. There are a LOT of American/English speakers who make much more egregious errors.
Back on topic
Maybe ntxdave was referring to windows with mullions rather than a single sheet of glass -

However, the original post was because of the "back" side of the window. The "Hole Punch" plugin has helped some as well. If I want a "simple" window, I use the 3-point plugin. If I want something more elaborate, I use the Window Tools to add the other features.

Thanks for sharing. Nice to have a source for correct nomenclature of parts like this one.
Would be neat for those of us who do not have an engineering or architecture background to find sources like this one. Sometimes I see things in posts and do not have a clear understanding of what people are talking about.
Would be interesting if someone like yourself could build a guide/library of information like this.

Kris's illustration shows many 'window' related terms.
A few observations...
A 'sill' - in the UK it might be alternatively called a 'cill'...
All of the parts around the edges of the opening are called the 'frame'.
The inner thinner section 'glazing-bars' [horizontal or vertical] are often called 'muntins', but a bigger section - e.g. something more like a side frame's profile - is called a 'mullion' if it's vertical, and a 'transom' if it's horizontal...
At the bottom it's the 'sill/cill'.
At the top it's the 'head'.
The projecting part of the 'sill/cill' that throws water away from the wall is usually called the 'drip'.
If the opening is actually a 'doorway', then the terms like 'sill/cill' change to be 'threshold'.
