hi Justin. Would you consider making a video to compare different plugins for making windows? there seem to be quite a few. Have you ever tried Windowizer or Click-window?
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.
I really hate modeling windows manually - way too much work. That said, you might want to consider Instant Architecture if you have access to it - lots more options in that program, though obviously it's paid...
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.
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 'fenestr.....' 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
@@Thesketchupessentials I am sure I tried one or two years ago. But I could not use them as going back to Imperial is almost impossible. Now I am pretty content with what extensions I have. But tonight I added this new one. Works great for me. Thanks.
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?
HELLO JUSTIN A LITTLE HELP HERE PLEASE .... EVERYTHING WORKS WELL BUT WHEN I HAVE THE WINDOW GLUED TO THE WALL ... THE WINDOW PUNCHER DOES NOT WORK IN ANY WAY ... THE BUTTON IS ENABLED BUT IT DOES NOT PUNCH THE WALL........HEEEEEEELP
This is my favorite new plug in, I installed this plug in on office computer and I use it daily. I have installed it on my home computer and I can't seem to access it. Both computers are Windows 10, both Sketchups are 2018 Pro.
@@Thesketchupessentials I seem to have the same problem - On my apple computer i can't find the extension anywhere - i've looked everywhere and it doesn't seem like it has downloaded corretly, even though it says that it has been downloaded. I don't know that the problem is? Sorry for english, it's not my native language
Flex Tools windows are dynamic components, meaning you can adjust them after you've created them. I don't believe these are dynamic - you'd have to delete and re-create these windows. Also, I believe the FlexWindows have a lot more options. Thanks!
the link to this extension is dead. And if you look for it manualy and try to install it, it says that it is for sketchup 2016. Any comment about that?
Try it again - SketchUp changed the entire link structure of the extension warehouse right before Christmas - as to 2016 - that just means it's marked as compatible with 2016 - you can try it on 2019 if you want
Not only did I show how the extension works, I also linked to a forum post with even more information as well - I'm not sure exactly what I didn't cover that you wanted me to cover...
Happy Monday everyone! Let me know what you think about this extension in the notes below! :)
My Best teacher on youtube 👍👍👍👏👏
when i am trying to put the window into the wall but its not happening can u please tell me why its not working ?
hi Justin. Would you consider making a video to compare different plugins for making windows? there seem to be quite a few. Have you ever tried Windowizer or Click-window?
Would you consider doing an update video on the progress of this extension @TheSketchupEssentials?

Nice extension. Good at basic window creation at early stages of modeling a project.
Another great tutorial Justin, Thanks . HAve been scouting something simple and practical for several days now. This will work !
Great video, might be handy to make viewers aware that it's compat' with versions up to 2016. Keep up the good work.
That should be listed on the download page I believe

Seams great add on. I will try it today
Thank you for all your great help here.
Very good plugin and tutorial, Justin!!!!

thank you very much for the tutorial! helped a lot!
Great, this even works with the Decimal system as well.
It should...most extensions should work with whatever unit system you select in SketchUp - is there an extension you're using that doesn't?

I just tried using it and when I clicked, "Create and Place" nothing would happen. I kept changing the settings but nothing would work.
thank you for the video that is what I need
Thanks for your video. The plug in would help me creating windows quick sketch.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your time 🫡

wow, that all i need, thank you
Awesome - glad you liked it!

Thanks
Welcome!
The windows builder extension doesn’t work for me at all. Neither option of punching hole in the wall or the polygonal window option nothing happens
Oh THAT kind of "window" LOL! Tx, Rich
What's the other kind of window?
@@Thesketchupessentials for a minute I thought you were talkin' 'bout MS HaHa
Thanks man
👍
Excellent
😎
Doesn't want to punch the wall. SU 2020 compatibility?
More likely the wall is modeled in a way it doesn't like
Okay I did download the extension buuuut how to insert it in sketchup to use it??
what different between this one and flex windows(flex tools)
Flex Tools windows are dynamic components, meaning you can adjust them after you've created them. I don't believe these are dynamic - you'd have to delete and re-create these windows. Also, I believe the FlexWindows have a lot more options. Thanks!
And its not free

nice, thx
😀
It will be better if we can customize the styles of windows we want to create before we punched the wall to put that window
Great sir
Glad you liked it!
when i click create and place i don't see any windo
Show de bola!
Plugin does not work at all
Is it possible to adjust params of a window that is already placed?
No
Whoops poke too soon: It only works on Skp 2016 forward apparently. Im on 2015
thanks, but no use for realistic rendering
Does not work with SU Pro 2022....
Can it make casement and awning windows?
If it's not on the list that I mention at 1:55, it doesn't have an option for that

Like you try to load it through the extension manager, and it does...what exactly? Nothing? Is it enabled?

You don't - it's a paid program
Do not work with Mac OS. Bummer.
Bummer
Whenever I use this plugin, my sketch up crashes, why ?? Version 2018
No clue? Did you try disabling other extensions?
A pitty you not show more options and you not look into detail before you make a video do show others how this extension. works.
Not only did I show how the extension works, I also linked to a forum post with even more information as well - I'm not sure exactly what I didn't cover that you wanted me to cover...
