[see blog post]

New & Improved

All Windows and Doors
  • New Casing – fully customizable trim for doors, windows, and slats. Create countless variations, copy between components, and fine-tune details as needed
  • Basic & Advanced options – common settings shown upfront, advanced ones hidden until needed.
  • Custom Insertion Point for easier placement (default: doors = bottom center, windows = top center).
  • Sill and Stool are now separate sub-components, with the stool being part of the casing sub-component. Access stool options by double-clicking and selecting the the stool or casing.
  • Sub-Frame added for a more realistic look and a better level of detail on many doors & windows (bi-fold, slider, double hung, casement, awning/hopper, fixed).
  • 2D improvements: grouped options, adjustable symbol height, and a new center line (new tag for quick toggling).
  • Frame Width – single width control for the sides and top of the frame.
  • Frame Depth – matches wall thickness by default (can be changed manually). This reduces the number of settings you need to adjust—just set the wall depth, and the frame follows automatically.
  • UI updates: Titles in all-caps for faster scanning, and new (👆) symbol to signify elements that can be clicked on with the interact tool for speedier adjustments.
  • Inset setting moved from Wall section to Frame section as the inset controls the position of the frame and all that is within it.

(Note: Casing not currently available for Trapezoidal and Arch windows.)

 

Door & Glass Door
  • Basic options moved to the root component for a smoother experience.
  • Flexible door sizing: choose between rough opening, leaf size, doorway size, or WWHH notation (e.g. 3068 or append a 5 for half inches e.g. 30685).

  • Door frame now displays as one clean element (corner lines hidden).
