- Windows share the common properties and behaviours of all Arch Components
- If the Auto-includecheckbox on the Window creation task panel is unchecked, the window won't be inserted into any host object on creation.
- Add a selected window to a wall by selecting both, then pressing the
Arch Add button.
- Remove a selected window from a wall by selecting the window, then pressing the
Arch Remove button.
- When using presets, it is often convenient to turn the "Near" Draft Snap on, so you can snap your window to an existing face.
- The hole created by a window in its host object is determined by two properties: DataHole Depth and DataHole Wire (introduced in version 0.17). The Hole Wire number can be picked in the 3D view from the window's task panel available when double-clicking the window in the tree view
- Windows can make use of Multi-Materials. The window will search in the attached Multi-Material for material layers with a same name for each of its window component, and use it if any is found. For example, a component named "OuterFrame" will search in the attached Multi-Material, for a material layer named "OuterFrame". If such material layer is found, its material will be attributed to the OuterFrame component. The thickness value of the material layer is disregarded.
