Tutorials

★ UPDATED FOR BLENDER 5.2 — VERSION 1.4.1

Now built for Blender 5.2, with tooltips on every setting and built-in warnings

that tell you when something is set up wrong instead of quietly building the wrong

thing. Plus a round of fixes to custom profiles, dowels, materials and the boolean

cutter.

⚠ Blender 5.2 or later required. Still on Blender 4.x? Use the included 1.3.x

build — see the FAQ.

DESCRIPTION:

Design any door, window, vent, sidelight, or transom — directly inside Blender using Geometry Nodes. Procedural Openings Generator gives you a fully parametric opening system where every dimension, style, material, and hardware option is adjustable in real time, with no mesh editing required.

KEY FEATURES:

11 FACTORY PRESETS — VISUAL GALLERY

Browse presets in a thumbnail gallery sorted by category:

Doors — Hinged, Pocket, Pivot, Bifold, Sliding

Windows — Hinged, Bifold, Sliding

Fixed — Vent, Sidelight, Transom

Click a thumbnail. Click Apply Preset. Done.

You can also save any current configuration as a named custom pre-set and recall it from the Custom category at any time.

OPENING TYPES

• Openable Shutters — single, double, unequal-width

• Fixed Shutters

SHUTTER STYLES

• Hinged, Pocket, Pivot (adjustable pivot distance)

• Bifold — 2 to 6 panels, width offset, opening symmetry

• Sliding — 2 to 6 panels

PANEL STYLES

• Solid panels

• Louvers — angle, height, realize toggle

• Dowels — size, count, realize toggle

FRAME & GEOMETRY

• Opening width and height

• Frame depth and height

• Shutter frame height

• Threshold (on/off + height)

• Custom frame profiles — pick any curve object for the frame, shutter, or glass seal profile

• 9 preset profile curves included (hinged ×4, pocket ×1, pivot ×1, sliding ×2, bifold ×1)

• Arched openings — arch height and resolution

• Cross rails — count, depth, height, spacing type, position, realize toggle

• Mullions — count, depth, width, spacing type, position, realize toggle

• Bevel + overall subdivision

HARDWARE

• Locksets — 2 types, adjustable base, handle, keyhole size, rotation, position X/Z

• Handles — 2 types, inside/outside/both sides, position, rotation

• Hinges — count, radius, height (hinged and bifold openings)

• Shutter opening percentage and maximum angle — animation-ready

MATERIALS

• 9 bundled PBR materials: Aluminium, Glass, Metal, Grey, Blue, Wood (4 variants)

• 4K textures — automatically relinked to the addon folder on first use

• Per-part material slots: frame, shutter frame, glass, handle, lockset, hinge

• Full material search with eyedropper in the panel

UNITS

• Feet, Inches, or Meters

• Switching units rescales all current values, defaults, and min/max ranges automatically

• Presets are stored in feet and scaled correctly when applied in any unit mode

PERFORMANCE — BAKING

• Bake shutters, handles, lockset, and hinges independently

• Dramatically reduces viewport lag when using booleans or heavy geometry

• Bake and delete baked geometry individually

• Features like shutter opening %, handle position, and hinge count remain adjustable on baked geometry

BOOLEAN GENERATOR

• Creates a matching arch-aware cutter object (Openings_Boolean_A, etc.)

• Parented to the opening, hidden from viewport and render

• Works for both rectangular and arched openings

APPLY & MAKE REAL — ONE-CLICK EXPORT

• Pick a wall object with the eyedropper

• One click:

— Applies the Geometry Nodes modifier (opening becomes real mesh)

— Cuts the boolean into the wall and applies it

— Re-hides the cutter object

• Produces clean, export-ready geometry for game engines, archviz pipelines, and FBX/OBJ export

EASY INSTALL — BLENDER EXTENSION FORMAT

• Drag the zip onto Blender's viewport to install (Blender 5.2+)

• Standard Install from Disk also works as before

• No external dependencies — pure Blender Geometry Nodes + Python

Change Log

Version 1.4.0

Preset thumbnail gallery — visual icon view replaces dropdowns; category tabs for Doors, Windows, Vents, Sidelights, Transoms, Custom
User-saveable custom presets — save any current configuration by name; delete from the Custom tab
Apply & Make Real — one operator applies the opening modifier, cuts the wall, and cleans up
Blender Extension format — blender_manifest.toml added; drag-and-drop install on Blender 4.2+; bl_info removed
Bug fix: panel controls hidden when Presets section was open (draw() crash on .enabled property)
Bug fix: Apply & Make Real failed on multi-user mesh data
Bug fix: boolean cutter remained visible after Apply & Make Real
Bug fix: threshold socket name mismatch causing silent warning on every draw

Version 1.3.2

8 technical debt fixes applied and verified on Blender 5.1.2:
Naming crash after 26 openings (suffix Z → IndexError) — now unbounded: A…Z, AA…ZZ, AAA…
Input dictionary lost on file-open — rebuilt automatically via load_post handler
Debug prints removed (operators and panel draw)
Double-registration warnings on re-enable — eliminated
700-line hard-coded preset dicts extracted to presets.json
Bare except/suppress hiding errors — removed
Magic-number bake IDs validated at call time
Textures relinked to bundled addon folders on append

Version 1.3.0

1. Custom Frames:

1. User-Preferred Frames:

Custom Frame Profiles: Includes customizable frame, shutter, and glass seam profiles.

Glazing Option: Choose between single, double, or triple glazing for more design precision.

Bifold Shutter Width Offset: Adjust shutter width for bifold openings to match custom frame profiles seamlessly.

Inside Handle Offset: Reposition the inside handle horizontally to accommodate asymmetrical front and back profiles of custom frames.

2. 8 Pre-set Frames:

4 frames for hinged and bifold openings, 1 for pocket openings, 1 for pivot openings and 2 for sliding openings.

2. Arch Opening:

Fine-tune arch height and resolution:

Set Arch Height to 0 and Resolution to 2 for rectangular or square openings.

Increase values for diverse arch design and shapes.

3. Shutter Max Opening Angle:

Previously fixed at 90°, users can now input any desired maximum opening angle.

4. Lockset, Handles and Hinges:

Lockset Features:

Choose between rectangular or round knob lockset types.

Adjust dimensions of the lockset’s base and handle.

Customize handle rotation angle and orientation (horizontal or vertical).

Flexible positioning along the X axis for frameless shutter and Z axis for all shutters.

Hinges for Hinged and Bifold Openings:

Customize hinge count, radius, and height.

Hinge

Material Selection:

Assign materials for locksets and hinges.

5. Use Baked Geometry for Improved Performance:

Bake geometries to significantly reduce lag during customization, especially when using computationally heavy features like the Mesh Boolean node.

How It Works:

Create and customize your opening.

Click Bake Selected to bake the geometry (shutter, lockset, handles, hinges).

Use the baked geometry for faster adjustments without affecting performance.

Re-bake if further customization is needed.

Options:

Use baked shutters, locksets, handles, and hinges individually.

Note: Features like shutter opening percentage, lockset/handle positions (X/Z), and hinge count are fully compatible with baked geometries.

6. Bake or Delete Selected:

Bake or delete specific geometries as needed.
