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:

Hinge

Material Selection:

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:
