Is it possible to add custom sill and lintel variants?

By geir.tvedt@gmail.com on September 12, 2018 - 2:16pm

Hi,
First of all, thank you for quite a number of great scripts! I've just bought the Instant Architecture package, read some pdf's, watched some videos, and started using the Instant Door & Window script as a starter.

Here at the west coast of Norway, where it's raining more or less 24/7/365, the architectural style is obviously quite different from Hawaii, and amongst others we use slanted lintels and sills to make sure that the water is running off. The sills and lintels I've been able to produce so far is 90deg to the wall, and I'm hoping to avoid rotating them manually.

Doors and windows slowing sketchup

By Jonahpritchard on August 27, 2018 - 2:52am

I'm new to your plugin an I'm having problems with double ups filling up the outliner and slowing sketchup while installing windows and doors in my model. I'm under a time line (as always) an gave up on the exterior windows and doors. I have now started with the interior doors and I'm having the same issue. After installing most of the interior doors I probably now have about 100 copies of "VA_Inside#8" for example, in the outliner. Any ideas?

When I try to reinstall "Instant Doo and Window" an information appears saying that the number of installations has been reached. I still have 179 days of use of the program. How to proceed to make new installation?

Utility tool for copying window

By hixmyrick on May 19, 2018 - 5:00am

I am using the utility tool to copy windows and doors. I followed your tutorial and it works but only copies the front of the window. Is the only option to then go back and copy the back and then try to line them up for every copied window? Am I missing something?

Bow Windows

By jimlapier on May 17, 2018 - 10:42am

When creating a bow window, all of the panes are created parallel to the wall, instead of rotating slightly. Bay windows seem to work fine, but every Bow window I try to create (4-6 panes) all have the window sashes themselves at the same angle, parallel to the house / face. Any help / direction is appreciated.

Is there a way to create a double garage door when making a garage? I've fudged it by making a regular entrance door (double) and changing the parameters.

Trying to edit side lites on door type 5368

By Toddster on March 7, 2018 - 6:21am

I saw from the website that entry unit 5368 is a single door w side lites
I am trying to build my first door but see no options to control the side lites
Also, if I have an existing unit that i want to edit at a later date, is there a way to load the settings from an older door configuration so you dont' have to start from scratch

By jefflyon on December 10, 2017 - 8:54am

When using the new SU 2018 section tool, section fills don't show when the cut it taken through a window. This happens in both horizontal and vertical section cuts. The same is true when cutting through Instant Roof. Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Chuck,

Running the script in a Mac/SU17. When I choose the swap leaf component as per your pdf instructions. The second pop up windows does not come up?. This look like a great function but can not get it to work. Any ideas...?
