Arch Workbench - Parametric Window placement
A few weeks ago I tried parametric window placement in Arch Workbench and found how to do it. And finally I made a short video about it.

Re: Arch Workbench - Parametric Window placement
There are some problems with the proposed workflow. For one thing you are attaching a sketch to the face of the wall. This is not a good idea.
See:
Feature_editing
Topological_naming_problem
Also:
Using attachments you can place the base sketch of the window in relation to the base sketch of the wall. This would be more stable and efficient.

You are right, my mistake (I'm usually using RealThunder Assembly3)
Could You show me details, how can it be done, please?Using attachments you can place the base sketch of the window in relation to the base sketch of the wall. This would be more stable and efficient.
Re: Arch Workbench - Parametric Window placement
There is still an issue with the normal of the window. The default (0,0,0) results in an inverted extrusion.

Re: Arch Workbench - Parametric Window placement
How about this workflow?
Done with:
OS: openSUSE Leap 15.2 (KDE//usr/share/xsessions/default)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.24992 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 9332e52d944c1339e3b9a1b5a72dc6edc6d077a8
Python version: 3.9.4
Qt version: 5.12.9
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.5.2
- First make a new document and name it Layout_master.
- Then make a Part.
- Then create a master sketch on Parts XY-plane.
- Then make planes passing through each centerline representing a wall center. Save and close document.
- Create a new document and make a Part in it. Name the document Wall_North.fcstd. Link Layout_master into this new document. Create holes for windows using the previously created center planes as attachments.
- Repeat for all walls.
- Use your favorite Assembly workbench and put all together, and Bob's your uncle!
