Happy Monday everyone! Let me know what you think about this extension in the notes below! :)

Wow, this is a game-changer, there isn't enough space to write how many times I designed windows for a client who needed special windows in their home. I had Instant Architecture but the program developed a virus on my terminal due to an update so I never re-downloaded it. With this new extension Justin, now I'm able to put new windows in my designs and attract new client. Thank you for making this video.

Nice extension. Good at basic window creation at early stages of modeling a project.

[richardvankesteren]

Nice video. A pitty the walls cannot be grouped to place the window inside the opening. Beside that, the window component has multiple green axes which makes it difficult to place the window in the opening. Best is to explode the window and make a new component again. Then place the window in the opening of your grouped wall.

Do you any course for kitchen cabinets design ? I use 20/20 its a good software but to expensive, looking to learn sketchup

[Alyssabeth]

I just tried using it and when I clicked, "Create and Place" nothing would happen. I kept changing the settings but nothing would work.

Great video, might be handy to make viewers aware that it's compat' with versions up to 2016. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Justin for your videos.
I have an issue with this extension that doesn't seem to work on newer SU versions... (at least on my SU 2020/SU 2017 over MacOS). Do you know any fix for this?

[zbigniewmichalak]

The French word for window is fenêtre. In French, when I see the 'china man hat/caret' above a vowel (ê), it normally represents that the letter 's' used to follow that letter. Therefore, we should in English have a word which will have something to do with windows. I say this simply because 60%+ of all English words originate from the French language as a result of The Battle of Hastings in 1066 where French became the premier language in the UK for the next 200+ years. Well, wo-and-behold, the dictionary definition writes, "Fenestration may refer to: Fenestration (architecture), the design, construction, or presence of openings in a building" or [04:44] 'punch a hole in the wall'. I've since learned that if one fenestrates a wall, it means to create openings, i, e., windows, doorways, etc. I thought I'd share if you weren't aware of the term. p.s great vid as per norm
