WinDoor
WinDoor is an add-on for Vectorworks 2008, 2009 and 2010, that creates simple or complex windows and doors which are fully editable parametric objects. It allows design and documentation to happen more quickly and provides increased control over component sizes, greater flexibility with door and window designs, better line weight and class control, and the ability to do in-wall corner and bay windows with a few clicks. You will also find support for a large range of door and window styles for both residential and commercial construction.
If you would like to see how the latest version works, there is a downloadable demo version to the right, along with a series of QuickTime movies demonstrating WinDoor's capabilities.
As WinDoor is included in Vectorworks Architect and Vectorworks Landmark in Australia and Vectorworks Architect in New Zealand, it not available as a separate purchase for users in Australia or New Zealand.
