What’s New

Enhanced Placement Process

  • Choose a door or window from the Snaptrude library, and left-click to place it on a wall.
  • Hovering over the door or window allows you to preview and select the desired orientation by toggling through the different quadrants of the opening.
  • A second click finalizes the operation, accurately placing the door or window in the chosen orientation.
  • The operation remains active until the orientation for the door or window is specified. Pressing the 'Escape' key cancels the operation.
  • While doors and windows can be placed in the 3D view, adjustments to their orientation can only be made within the 2D view.

Dynamic Dimensions

  • You now have the ability to dynamically adjust dimensions from the hosting wall ends to the door or window during placement, offering greater control and precision.
  • Type the required dimension to place the door/window at a specific distance from the wall ends.
  • The shorter distance is selected by default. Use the Tab key to switch between the dimensions.

Post-Placement Modifications

  • After placement, you can modify the orientation of doors and windows by selecting the item and clicking on the flip indicators.

Visual Enhancements

  • When selected, doors and windows are highlighted in blue for enhanced visibility.
