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

        1. some pin button to keep settings window open
        2. 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

            Thanks for all your feedback ๐Ÿ˜‰

            @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

                          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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

                              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!

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

                                    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

                                      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)

                                      Regards,
