UniversalDW | Custom Window & Door Family Creator
UniversalDW is a powerful, intuitive Revit plugin designed to eliminate the complexity of modeling composite windows and doors. Featuring a grid-based graphical user interface (GUI), it empowers BIM managers, architects, and 3D modelers to generate highly customized parametric Revit families (.rfa) instantly—without ever needing to open the complex Revit Family Editor.
Key Features
1. WYSIWYG Graphical Design (What You See Is What You Get)
Say goodbye to abstract parameter lists and tedious trial-and-error. UniversalDW features a real-time 2D/3D grid preview, allowing you to visually verify the layout, structural divisions, and opening methods of your windows and doors before generating the file.
2. Flexible Parametric Grid Layout System
Achieve perfect proportions effortlessly. The plugin supports both Equal Parts and Custom Dimensioning modes. Simply input numerical sequences (e.g., 1000, 1000, 1000or300, 600, 1200) to gain precise control over every sash, mullion, and pane.
3. Comprehensive Library of Opening Types
Streamline your BIM workflow with a built-in library of standard door and window configurations, applicable with a single click:
- Windows: Left/Right Casement, Sliding, Fixed, Awning, Hopper, and Louvered windows.
- Doors: Single Swing (Left/Right), Double-Leaf Swing, and Double-Panel Sliding doors.
4. Advanced Frame & Panel Customization
Engineered for precise parametric control. Easily customize outer/inner frame widths, profile thicknesses, and mortar joints. The interface also supports Merging and Separating grid cells, giving you the creative freedom to design complex architectural façades.
5. Integrated BIM Material Management
Streamline your data from the start. Assign specific materials for frames, glass, louvers, and mortar directly within the plugin interface. The generated Revit family files automatically retain these material parameters, making them 100% ready for photorealistic rendering and accurate quantity take-offs (QTO).
