    Add-on is easy to work with, does exactly what it says on the cover, provides lots of options and the author is quick to assist - what more could you want?

    I think for its price its a great little mod that will save me a LOT of time.

    Also the support, that wasn't really needet, is top tier and the developer seems to really care everything runs smooth and nicely.

    Lovely add on if you need to generate some windows. I need to get use to making sure I'm happy with everything before moving on to something else as the menu isn't always accessible after it closes - but this is a Blender limitation that I've come across before. if you keep that in mind, then another great add on from Mr Kingsnorth.

      Thanks for the review Paul! As you say this is a Blender limitation that hopefully will be overcome in the future.

    It only works for quads and is very destructive to topology. It will not solve the window topology and will lag the hell out of your computer for no reason. Do not use subdivision or bevels with the windows this addon creates.

      Thank you for your review and I appreciate the time you took to reach out via support. I am sorry my suggestions did not help.

      The add-on needs the edges of the 4 sided quads to define the rectangular window shapes. It then creates inner extrusions on the mesh, which does change its topology. Placing modifiers such as the Bevel and Subdivision modifier on top will therefore produce bad effects. I am not sure why the lag may have happened, which could be down to a variety of reasons.

      If a mesh does not already have quads, retopologizing a mesh can take a good deal of time and effort, especially to get the faces in the right position. In the future, I will think of ways this and my other add-ons can try to avoid the need to retopologize.

      All the very best and, once more, I am sorry I could not have been more help.

    It does exactly what it says it does. Very happy with it. If you need random windows in things. Pretty straightforward after playing around with the sliders for some minutes. And yes it works in 3.0.0 in the current alpha-version that is. Only some more options could make it more useful for more "close-up" stuff.

      Thanks Joshua, if you're still looking for 'close-up' stuff you might find Blender's in-built Archimesh add-on useful.

    Thanks for another useful plugin, I'm having trouble finding it though (tried both in blender 2.80 and 2.82) link in mesh/generate windows but the link is greyed out and unclickable, typing query here as I can't get an answer from the team in my inbox, really looking forward to using this, thanks

      Hi Clifford and thanks for another good review!

      Make sure you are in face select mode and you have some faces selected, that should activate the tool.

      Strange, I don't have anything in my inbox - have you tried clicking 'Contact Creator' on my Blender Market page at https://blendermarket.com/creators/mark-kingsnorth? It's the best way of getting in touch with me.
