the Copy and Paste commands to duplicate an
existing window.

can also add the window in the plan view if the house is displayed as a floor
plan.
•
Normally when you click to add the window, the window will be added and
automatically selected for editing. If you want to immediately add another
window, hold Ctrl while clicking.
• If
grid snap is enabled, it might be difficult to place the window exactly where
you want it. Press Ctrl+G to disable grid snap. See Snap Settings for more information.
•
Windows can only be added to existing houses, not other objects.
• On
windows that have trim, the trim color will automatically match the color of the
house trim.
