Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
One collaborative effort we could do at some point:
The doors and windows found in the FreeCAD library at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-libr ... al%20Parts should all be opened, and the appropriate sketch constraints renamed to "Height" and "Width" and resaved. That way, setting the height and width properties of the window works and they become parametric.

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Those windows and doors are a bit of a mixed bag. IMO too much so. Ideally you would want to rework many of them.
Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
We definitely could, and add a bit of order, categories, etc.
But this is the same for any user-contributed resource (wikipedia, etc), the user input is often raw and you need some "moderating" work done. I'm sure we'll get there at some point, but at the moment it's best to let the library grow as much as possible I would say

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
I do not know if this library has been updated recently (I have downloaded the zip last September). But some files do not work with the current (V0.19) version.
Example: "Double doors with transom and trims.FCStd":
Example: "Double doors with transom and trims.FCStd":
- 38 redundant constraints for Sketch143.
- Total width cannot be changed.
- How to keep trim aligned with Sketch143 if the wall has a random direction?: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45035

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
I just tried to add a custom window to the Library.
When i press the Window Butten it is avalable and i can select it.
but then when i place it onto the wall and klick the mouse button to add it the panel for the window disappears and there is no windo on the wall.
All the other presets are still Working.
I am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.15.7
Is there something wrong with my custom Window?

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Add your FreeCAD infos to help the helpers.
Do you use the latest 0.20?

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
I have upgrade to the Latest version
[/code]
This creates a new problem.
If I use the following folder
I cant find the Arch workbensch in the drop down menu.
If I delete the arch folder then the arch workbench is available again.
Do I first have to install the parts library?
