WinDoor
WinDoor is an add-on for Vectorworks that is suitable for versions 2008 up to 2012. It creates simple or complex windows and doors which are fully editable parametric objects, and allows design and documentation to happen more quickly. WinDoor 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.
To see how the latest version works, download a demo version using the links 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.
