If you read the Usage section here, there is a note about use of additional presets: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Arch_Window

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
That's right. Somebody asked this question before, so I added the information to the Arch Window page.bitacovir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:49 pm ...there is a note about use of additional presets: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Arch_Window
In general, the presets that we see in the default Arch Window task panel are hard-coded in the ArchWindow.py module, so there is no "easy" way to change these. We need to create subdirectories with the structure indicated in the Arch Window page, and then the task panel will look there for more presets.
The "parts library" is actually pretty heavy, so installing it completely is not the best idea if you just want a small component. The easiest way to add a "preset" is just to draw the window in its own FreeCAD document, with appropriate names for the constraints of the sketch. Then whenever you need that window, it can be inserted into the active document (Std_Import). This is basically what the "parts library" does; it just imports objects made in a single FreeCAD file, or STEP files in certain cases.

Perhaps you mean Std_MergeProjects?
Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Than's for your help and info.
I had read of all of this, but I'm looking for a simple directly way to add a new window in the preset.
I think that is a good idea to add it in the future features

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Just for understand, for future question too.
Is here the correct part of the forum where suggest a new features or a bub reporting?

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Maybe we could make the Window tool look into another folder as well? This way users wouldn't need to install the whole library...
And indeed it would make the creation of new presets much simpler.

Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Hi yorik,
yes of course, but I'm thinking to a simple "ad to library" command to use selecting a new custom window. In this case the command will save the object in the specific folder, and the new window will appear in the pre-set
Re: how add custom windows in Preset library
Okay let's go by parts
With git commit bbea2dbb7 it is now possible to use .FCStd files as presets. They must be placed in FreeCADUserData/Arch/Windows or FreeCCADUserData/Arch/Doors
Then we can see about allowing to save a selected window as a preset in an elegant way...
