The Window tool can be used to insert windows into walls, but you need to first define window styles.
Note: If you want to save styles to a template, see Savings as Templates.
In the Style Manager, there is one style, "Standard," listed under "Windows." A preview showing a previous of the window style is on the lowest pane.

Panel
Note: In the Preview area, you can click to zoom part of the graphic. Double-click to fit the graphic in the window.

1. You can change the "Standard" style, but if you want to preserve this style, make sure "Standard" is highlighted and click Create New Style.
   
2. Assign a name. !worddav073c4aa76b58eae3ef0f184a865d992e.png|height=62,width=204!This creates a new style which is a copy of "Standard."
3. There are three categories of properties. Open Dimension, where you can specify measurements of the frame, sash, and glass.
   
   Auto Adjust to Width of Wall: Sets the depth of the window so that it will cut all the way through the wall.
4. Open Design, where you can specify the window type (double hung, transom, etc.) and shape (rectangular, arch, octagon, etc.). For a list of available window types, see Rure96857.
5. You can also select, edit and create muntins. See Rure19197---- 

Note: Profile is used when you've created a profile for changing the window shape, or for adding holes. See Profile Styles.

The last category is Materials, in which you can set the materials of the frame, sash, and glass. If you leave any material blank (such as the Sash Material below), the object will be colored according to the Pen color set in the window's Properties.
