In addition, new components are being added all the time. The tools in this toolset include doors, windows, trapezoidal windows, slat openings, and a flex panel. In addition, all the objects are fully customizable as dynamic components, allowing you to adjust things like depth, height, frame size, whether doors are open or not, number of window panels, and more! With these dynamic components, only the parts of the component that are supposed to resize, like the door, or the glass in a window.Īll you have to do is take the objects, drop them in the opening, and use the scaling options to size the objects to your opening. The problem with regular door components is if you scale them to fit them in an opening, not only the door, but also the frames will resize and distort. The nice thing about these components is that they resize without any kind of distortion. Basically what that means is that this extension contains responsive objects that scale and adjust to openings automatically.
