of the reference point. You can add the same window to another
position on the same wall.

When windows are added, the reference point and mirroring
information of the previous window are retained. When you add a
window to a wall, it cuts an opening into the wall and becomes part
of the wall. In the floor plan drawing, the lines of the wall
structure layers are cut by the window. The window glass is
transparent in the 3D model.
Note
- You can also select the function from the toolbar Building Components >
Insert Window.
- The default positioning height of the top edge of the window is
defined in the project parameters. You can use the Select Height function to
select a new positioning height. When adding a window in the model,
you can change the locking method of the cursor so that you can
select the window position at any height, see Locking the Cursor in a Model.
- You can position the window by defining the position of the
reference point in relation to a certain point, see Entering a Distance from a
Point.
- Quick Selection for the
Reference Point allows you to select the left or right edge or
the center of the opening as the reference point.

by using the Adding Several
Openings in a Chain function.
