So feature rich tool, thank you so much!
Is it possible to add in the future:

some pin button to keep settings window open
right frame texturizing. The texture of material will be alighed in accordance the longest edge of the element (horizontal\vertical). Obviously, it'd demand to split window frame to horizontal\vertical parts.
Thank you once again

Thank you for this wonderful present.
Making holes in grouped geometry...Can it be done?

Didier Bur

Thanks for all your feedback

@srx: if you mean creating a hole for a window in a wall made of grouped geometry, yes you can. Just select the window and click the right-most icon of the toolbar.

@juju: nice ideas, i'll work on these asap

Didier, have you been able to spend some time with this yet?

Didier Bur

Hi Juju,
I wish I had the time to enhance Windows Builder (and LOD Labels plugin too), but I'm busy on SU/Twinmotion projects for a couple of months now. I'll be back on Ruby coding asap

You just brought tears to my eyes, thanks for your valued support of the SU Extensions and community!

This looks like a great extension! I am running SU Pro 2017. When I try to install this extension from the Extension Warehouse it says "This extension is marked as being not compatible with your Operating System or SketchUp Version. Proceed anyway?".

Is this extension incompatible with SU Pro 2017? Extension Warehouse shows "Compatibility: SketchUp 2016."

Any clarification from anybody using this extension would appreciate. Thanks!

Dave R

You could try it an see what happens. Very often the compatibility list is slow to be updated if it is at all.

Didier Bur

Hi,
Windows Builder is compatible with SU2017 (Make and Pro).

I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't get it to cut the opening. Do walls have to be grouped? I've tried both ways.
TIA

Didier Bur

Hi Glenn

It works in both cases.
First example shows that "Cuts opening" and "punch window" both work on a regular face of a wall, and second example shows that only "punch window" works if the wall is a group.
But it will work OK if the context is the group (if you are within the group when launching WB)
