Similar to doors, windows automatically snap to walls and have changeable parameters that control size and appearance. But it is important to note that doors and windows require a wall to act as a host because they cannot exist on their own. This means that the door and windows assume the layer of the wall. This is why you don't see a layer setting in Info Box when the window or door tool is active.
Let's add windows to our house, starting on the first floor:
Start the Window tool from the Toolbox palette. The default settings should be door W Double Hung 19, width
2'-6"
, height5'
. Look at the image of the Info Box palette that follows:Use the following plan as a guide and place 2 windows in the living room, 2 in the dining room, 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the laundry room, and 1 in the garage. Placing windows works just like placing doors, refer to steps 2 and 3 in the Doors exercise done earlier.
Open the second floor. Using the same settings as we used earlier, place windows in each room according to the following image.
