Up the way you create fenestrations for your 3d model using Geometry Nodes Procedural Openings. Transform the openings into a door, window, or a ventilator according to your requirements using this add-on. 

You can create and customise limitless options of fenestrations based on:

• Opening type : Openable or fixed Doors, Windows, Ventilators 

• Opening Style and direction: 

Hinged, Pocket, Pivot, Bifold, Sliding

• Opening Frame Material

• Shutter type:

Single Shutter, Double Shutters, Unequal Shutters

• Shutter Frame Material

• Shutter panel style:

Solid Panels, Louvers, Dowels

• Shutter Panel Material

• Cross Rails and Mullions: Dimensions, Position and Spacing

• Threshold option for Doors

• Shutter Handle positions, material and type

• Bevel option for Edges

Additionally you can also choose the working Units (Imperial or Metric) based on your preference.

This add-on creates boolean objects under a single collection that makes your work easier.

Change Log

Version 1.3.0

1. Custom Frames:

1. User-Preferred Frames:

Custom Frame Profiles: Includes customizable frame, shutter, and glass seam profiles.

Glazing Option: Choose between single, double, or triple glazing for more design precision.

Bifold Shutter Width Offset: Adjust shutter width for bifold openings to match custom frame profiles seamlessly.

Inside Handle Offset: Reposition the inside handle horizontally to accommodate asymmetrical front and back profiles of custom frames.

2. 8 Pre-set Frames:

4 frames for hinged and bifold openings, 1 for pocket openings, 1 for pivot openings and 2 for sliding openings.

2. Arch Opening:

Fine-tune arch height and resolution:

Set Arch Height to 0 and Resolution to 2 for rectangular or square openings.

Increase values for diverse arch design and shapes.

3. Shutter Max Opening Angle:

Previously fixed at 90°, users can now input any desired maximum opening angle.

4. Lockset, Handles and Hinges:

Lockset Features:

Choose between rectangular or round knob lockset types.

Adjust dimensions of the lockset’s base and handle.

Customize handle rotation angle and orientation (horizontal or vertical).

Flexible positioning along the X axis for frameless shutter and Z axis for all shutters.

Hinges for Hinged and Bifold Openings:

Customize hinge count, radius, and height.

Hinge

Material Selection:

Assign materials for locksets and hinges.

5. Use Baked Geometry for Improved Performance:

Bake geometries to significantly reduce lag during customization, especially when using computationally heavy features like the Mesh Boolean node.

How It Works:

Create and customize your opening.

Click Bake Selected to bake the geometry (shutter, lockset, handles, hinges).

Use the baked geometry for faster adjustments without affecting performance.

Re-bake if further customization is needed.

Options:

Use baked shutters, locksets, handles, and hinges individually.

Note: Features like shutter opening percentage, lockset/handle positions (X/Z), and hinge count are fully compatible with baked geometries.

6. Bake or Delete Selected:

Bake or delete specific geometries as needed.
