There are various window sash configurations and door opening configurations missing from the window and door tools. See below for the ones I can think of.
I'd like NV to support these (ASAP) but another approach could be to provide us users the ability to define them ourselves within the tool interface.
Things we need to configure would be 2D plan representation, elevational representation (namely the hinge direction marker), 3D aspects such as if and how it opens and schedule data. And then the infill types. Potentially difficult to implement but at least then we'll be able to add our own types, as window manufacturers come up with them, instead of having to wait for NV.
In fact this principle could be applied to parametric objects in general, not just the window tool.
Sash configurations:
1. Fixed glass, i.e. sashless (currently only a fixed sash can be created, currently called a "Fixed light")
2. Tilt n turn (implemented, but the ability to choose opening side still needs to be implemented and they need to remain inward opening at all times)
3. Easy-clean side-hung
4. Fully reversible
5. Single sliding horizontal sash (at the moment horizontal sliding sash splits each sash into two when applied)
