Step 4: add doors and windows

Doors and windows live in a wall. They cut their own opening, and they move with the wall.

  1. Pick the Door tool.
  2. Move the pointer over a wall in the plan or in 3D. A preview shows where the door goes.
  3. Click to place it.
  4. Pick the Window tool and click on walls to place windows the same way.

Adjust them

  • With the Select tool, click a door or window. Set its Width, Height and Sill (how high a window starts above the floor) in Properties.
  • Drag it along its wall to move it.
  • Press Space to flip which way a door opens. Shift+Space flips its hinge side. Or use Flip swing and Flip hand in Properties.
