Great! Thank you. I'm thinking there's some additional info that would be nice to add in a future video, like: - How to manage a window a door library to reuse on any project - How to set width an height as parameters so when used again it can be inserted and adjusted to other dimensions - How to asign multimaterals to doors and windows - Are there any other properties/parameters to consider when designing generic doors and windows?
hello. I have a problem inserting doors and windows in Freecad through the BIM Workbench. They are shown as a set of loose rectangles and not in their original form. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the FC but it did not solve. Have you experienced this and would you know the solution to show windows and doors correctly again? Thanks for understanding. Congratulations on the excellent videos.
Thank you for information but on my side here I am trying to create my own window my own design windows and more squares I am struggling there where you said double click on door, so that I can add hinges The thing that shows is just comes XYZ plane for moving object, So can you help on there please
this is a very useful feature available in Revit. You can check this link. knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/Revit-Model/files/GUID-69B6DC75-56A9-4F35-BE24-80048360E2BB-htm.html#:~:text=Compound%20wall%20layers%20can%20wrap,is%20placed%20in%20the%20wall.
please make a video where you make 3 identical windows in the wall and center them in the center of the wall. I don't understand how to take a door and move it to another wall! show the process of manipulating the finished doors. that would be very helpful.
Thank you, this was a very useful tutorial. I have created a parametric door with this method and from using spreadsheets (found here th-cam.com/video/lf-up4UjG58/w-d-xo.html). Could you also teach how to place these custom doors in other models (ex. from BIM Library?), without them breaking? I have placed this parametric door in BIM library, but I am not able to move or rotate it without breaking the model. I did use a work around, and made the door into solids, and I am able to move and rotate it freely. But when I move the solid, the sketch and the door component gets scattered in 2 different places. Also the cut out does not get created in the new wall, i need to do it manually. Is there a way to create custom doors and window and make it to act like standard doors and windows of freecad ?
Let me know guys how was the video. 🙂

Noted. Thanks once again for great feedback, will definitely look forward to it. :-)
Regarding the library - perhaps you could use the spreadsheet in the sketcher workbench.
Amazing! Thank you for responding to our request!
Welcome and thank you for the feedback. :-)
Now it is clear to me. Thank you!

Is there a way to wrap wall finishes around the jamb where the window/door is inserted?
Please elaborate more...

Thank you for your info.
It's really useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this!
how do I add a new door to the library?
How do we save the file? Do we move it to the origin and delete the wall?
Thank you buddy!
thnks bro. i wish you, can you incrase your mic volume plase.
please make a video where you make 3 identical windows in the wall and center them in the center of the wall.
I don't understand how to take a door and move it to another wall!

I hope that helps!
Pump your mic volume up, very annoying the noise explosion when the commercial hits the screen!
