I’m working with Visual arq in grasshopper and i cant seem to edit a window to have 2x2 leafs with a frame between leafs - like this attached picture.
Anyone have a solution for this? all Visual arq’s tutorials have widnows with leave sin the horisontal direction - not in the vertical.

Hi Jens,
This kind of window is only possible through a block or a “Grasshopper style”. You can learn how it works here: Doors windows - VisualARQ
Thanks Francesc. Is there a tutorial of this anywhere? Its…really complicated for making a VERY basic type of window dont you think?
best,
J
Hi Jens,
you can use my window which i made ages ago, but i can’t promise that everything will work. I just checked to see if it has the option of a skylight but maybe it will help you.

Thanks Bjorn.
Ill look into it. Its a very large script. :o

Yes 
, it’s was a very complex script with some options for the window and i think not complet optimised. One of my first Definitions.
@Jens_Jacob_Melhus_Ju I’ve developed a (simple) parametric window of 2x2 leaves as a “Grasshopper style” and put it available on food4Rhino: 2X2 Window | Food4Rhino
Just run the vaStylesImport command to import it.
I also attach the Grasshopper file used to it, just in case you want to see how is it made and change or add any detail.

Cheers!
Thank you for providing the va. file, that I can also use very well. When importing came the following error message = Unsupported file format
An additional question. My customers always want the window handles to be displayed in 3D (as in ArchiCAD or Revit) could you integrate that?
Many greetings
Boris
Thank you Francesca,
Looking forward to trying it out - but more to learn how it works so I can make my own.
Good day to you,

Hi @Boris_87 I’ve uploaded a new .val file saved in Rhino 6 (that’s why you had that error message) and I’ve included Handles on leaves with a few parameters regarding in which leaves they appear.
Thank you Francesca, that helps me a lot!!!
I still have one question for you … Is it a big effort to have the handles facing down and if you could also add the handles for one and two casement windows?
Thank you very much
Boris
Hi Boris, here you are! Casement window with handles set | Food4Rhino
I’ve done it in a way that the handles are facing down except when the leaf opens.
Hi Francesc, Great!!! Thank you very much. I can use this very much now and in the future. Great! I would like to ask you one more thing… but I don’t know if I’m allowed to do it… It’s about the door… (Also with door handle and the possibility to integrate a window in the door…)
I wish you a nice day
Many greetings
Boris
Hi Boris, I can work on that. It will be a Hinged and Hinged Double door with the handle and the option to have a glass or not in the leaf.
Hello Francesc, that I find very great of you! Thank you very much! It’s really fun to work with VisualARQ! 
Many greetings
Boris
Hey Francesc,
I tried making my own. Its a fairly simple script but Visual arq doesnt allow me to make a window style out of it. can you look at the script and see whats missing/wrong? Would be a great help

Hi Jens,
You need to connect the geometry of the resulting window into one or more “Geometry” Params, that are not further connected with anything else. Those will be detected by VisualARQ as components of the final new object style:
On the other hand, you need to place the window oriented on the XZ plane, aligning its middle bottom point with the 0,0,0 coordinates:
I recommend you taking a look at the tutorials available on the website: Doors windows - VisualARQ
But let me know if you have any further doubts or questions!
Yes, I’m with you and ive done exactly that to the best of my understanding. Going through the script i noticed that i had aligned my window to the xz plan but not (0,0,0) so i changed that in attached script.
It would be great if these tutorials provided the user with the exact inputs and outputs needed - unless it is only those stated in the tutorial that you also wrote. Here are some pictures of the script in case your afraid of opening external files:
Best,
Jens
Hi Jens, the preview of the window looks awesome! But I think you attached the same file as in your previous message.
Aha,
this one then!
