1) Create a window like before
2) Double-click the window in the tree to open its task panel
3) Select a component that is openable
4) Click an edge that is the rotation axis of the component
5) Press the hinge select button
6) Select an opening mode. So far all work except the two sliding modes
7) Press update and close the task panel
Internally, it's rather simple: Each window component is defined by a set of strings in its WindowParts property. I just extended one of the strings (the "Wires" part) to hold also the hinge edge, and a number for the opening mode. So instead of "Wire0,Wire1", it is saved as "Wire0,Wire1,Edge6,Mode1". So it is rather easy to use in scripts, and will be easy to update the presets.
This is already supported by the section plane, so these symbols will appear on Drawing/TechDraw views, but there are still problems with the "V" lines, they are not cut by the other geometry, so they appear everywhere. There are many other things to do to make them better, such as allowing the user to define styles, et... But better to go step by step and see how it behaves first
