Doors and windows with Archipack

The Archipack add-on creates additional options for adding doors, windows, and stairs. Let's use it to line our walls and openings with windows, doors, and trim:

  1. Open the Add menu and choose Archipack | Door, then select the 160x200 dual preset. 
  2. Rotate the door so that it's oriented with a wall.
  3. For a taller or wider door, use the Archipack widgets to move them or click the Archipack numbers to type in specific values. 
  4. Using the same system, add an Archipack window, choosing the 180x110 flat 3 preset. Move it to the right wall.
  5. With more details entering the picture, we can adjust the previz wall layout. Cut a hole out for where the Archipack window sits and also model a quick recessed wall.

Our kitchen is looking roomier already. Our example looks like this so far:

Experiment with the other architecture options provided by Archipack and Archimesh. You can build entire scenes from their tools, which makes bashing a scene together a lot of fun!

Finally, let's add some extra decorations to our scene to liven it up.
