Doors and windows aren't decorations sitting on a wall — they cut real openings through it. Delete one and the wall closes back up. ## Place a door or window Pick **Door** or **Window** in the Build tab. A ghost preview follows your cursor; the moment you hover a wall it snaps onto it, showing green when the spot is valid and red when it isn't (off the wall, or overlapping another opening). Click to place. While placing: * `R` flips which way the opening faces. * `Alt` + click force-places over a collision warning. * `Esc` cancels. * The continuation chip in the helper panel (`C` to cycle) switches between **Place once** and **Place multiple**, so you can drop a row of windows without re-picking the tool. Window preview snapping onto a wall and cutting an opening Openings can't hang off the end of a wall — they clamp to its bounds — and curved walls can't host them. Gable and roof walls can: see [roofs](/building/roofs#roof-walls-and-openings). ## Types and variants Every variant is a setting on the placed opening, so you can change it any time from the properties panel: * **Doors** have three modes — **Door**, **Opening** (a frameless cutout with no leaf), and **Garage**. Door types: **Hinged**, **Double**, **French**, **Folding**, **Pocket**, **Barn**, and **Sliding**. Garage types: **Sectional**, **Roll-up**, and **Tilt-up**. * **Windows** offer **Fixed**, **Sliding**, **Casement**, **Awning**, **Single Hung**, **Double Hung**, **Bay**, **Bow**, and **Louvered**, plus the same frameless **Opening** mode. Door type and mode controls in the properties panel ## Move an opening Grab the move handle on a selected opening (or use the **Move** action in its panel) and drag. The opening slides along its wall, staying inside the wall's bounds — and if you drag onto a different wall, it hops across and re-hosts there. Away from any wall the ghost turns red and won't drop. With **Lines** snapping active, alignment guides catch on neighboring doors, windows, and wall items so you can line up a facade precisely. Dragging a door along a wall and onto another wall ## Sizes Doors default to 0.9 × 2.1 m and windows to 1.5 × 1.5 m (picking a different type adjusts the default — a double door starts at 1.5 m wide, a garage door at 2.7 × 2.4 m). To resize: * Drag the width and height arrows on the selected opening. * Or set exact values with the **Width** and **Height** sliders in the panel's Dimensions section. Doors always sit on the floor. Windows also move vertically: drag the window up or down the wall (or use the panel's position controls) to set its sill height — new windows start 0.5 m above the floor. ## Swing and direction * **Flip Side** in the panel (or `R` with the opening selected) turns the opening to face the other side of the wall. * Hinged doors have a **Swing** section: **Hinges Side** (Left / Right) and **Direction** (Inward / Outward), plus a handle-side choice. * Sliding, pocket, and barn doors choose their slide direction (Left / Right). ## Open and close Doors and operable windows really open. Press `E` with one selected to toggle it, or drive it gradually with the operation slider in the panel. In walkthrough mode, click a door to open and close it as you explore. Frameless openings and fixed windows don't operate. ## Delete an opening Select the opening and press `Delete` or `Backspace`, or use the **Delete** action in its panel. The hole it cut disappears with it — the wall heals instantly.
