In Event Design App, you place a door or window by choosing Standard door or Standard window from the Catalog and clicking directly on a wall line in top view. Each opening cuts a real hole in that wall, and you can slide it along the wall or replace it if a resize leaves a gap.
Scope: the plan needs at least one wall, and you place doors and windows in top view. You can't place them on empty floor or from the Line Placement tool.
Doors and windows tell guests where to enter and show your client where light and traffic come from. They aren't pictures on a wall: each one cuts an opening in the wall it's attached to, so it needs a wall to attach to first.
📺 Attach, Move, and Edit Doors and Windows — place, move, resize, and recover.
The editor needs at least one wall before it can place a door or window (or an entrance and a window opening). If you don't have one yet, see Create walls and rooms, and leave enough length on the wall for the door and window to sit apart. This works in top view.
A door is placed from the Catalog onto a wall.
Leave wall drawing, and search the Catalog for "Door".
Choose Standard door. A Ready to place banner confirms it's armed, reading Click or tap the canvas to place. Press Esc or right-click to cancel.
Click directly on the wall line in top view.
The door is placed and selected. The Properties panel identifies it as an opening door attached at that location.

Search the Catalog for "Window", choose Standard window, and click directly on the wall line in top view.
⚠ Click the wall, not the empty space. If you click the empty canvas, nothing is placed and the Ready to place banner stays. That isn't an error. Click the wall line and the window attaches and becomes selected.
Switch to perspective and orbit to see the wall face. Clear the selection highlight and look at both openings together. A door reaches the bottom of the wall, while a window sits above it. By default a door is about 3 ft wide and 6 ft 11 in tall, and a window is about 4 ft square with its bottom roughly 3 ft up. Check the frames, the spacing between them, and the wall around each one.
In top view, openings also show as markers on the wall: orange for doors, blue for windows.
[SCREENSHOT 2 — Perspective view: a door and a window on one wall]
In top view, select the door. With Move active, drag the horizontal handle along the wall. The door slides to its new position and stays aligned with the host wall.
Leave clearance from the wall ends and from the nearby window, then check the result in perspective.
An opening can't go past the ends of its wall; the editor holds it within the wall's length. An opening is also trimmed to the wall, so it can't be taller than the wall above its bottom edge.
The transform handles (the arrows and squares you drag) also work on openings. Select the door, choose Scale, and drag the horizontal handle a small distance to widen it. Clear the highlight and look at the result.
Change one dimension at a time, and look at the frame after each change.
⚠ A resized opening can stop fitting its frame. In the lesson, a small vertical Scale on a window left a visible dark gap around it. A size change is not finished until you've checked the fit in perspective.
To recover from a bad resize, replace the window:
Select only the resized window and delete it. Confirm the Are you sure to delete? dialog says 1 selected item.
Choose a fresh Standard window from the Catalog.
Back in top view, place it on the same wall.
Replacing the window this way swaps out the poorly fitting one, keeping the wall and the door you already moved. The new window has its original proportions.
💡 If a resize feels off, replace rather than fight. A fresh catalog opening is quicker than nudging a distorted one back.
An opening is stored with its wall attachment, so it reloads with the plan. Save, reopen, and confirm both openings are where you left them.
I clicked and no window appeared. You clicked the empty canvas. Click directly on the wall line.
The Catalog shows the "Ready to place" banner, but nothing happens. The tool is still armed. Click the wall.
There's a dark gap around my window. It was resized and no longer fits its frame. Delete it and place a fresh Standard window.
My door won't go where I want it. An opening can't extend past the end of the wall. Leave clearance from the ends and from other openings, or lengthen the wall first.
My door looks like it's floating. Check its height in perspective. Doors should reach the base of the wall.
I can't find doors or windows in Line Placement. They're hidden there. Use the Catalog.
Search the Catalog for Door, choose Standard door, then click directly on a wall line in top view. The door is placed, selected, and cuts a real opening in that wall. By default a door is about 3 ft wide and 6 ft 11 in tall and reaches the bottom of the wall.
A window attaches only when you click the wall line itself. If you click empty canvas, nothing is placed and the Ready to place banner stays on; that isn't an error. Click directly on a wall line in top view and the window attaches and becomes selected. Draw a wall first if the plan has none.
A Standard door is about 3 ft wide and 6 ft 11 in tall, sitting at the base of the wall. A Standard window is about 4 ft square with its bottom roughly 3 ft up. In top view, doors show as orange markers on the wall and windows as blue ones.
A window can stop fitting its frame after a resize; a small vertical Scale can leave a visible dark gap around it. Delete only that window, confirming the dialog says 1 selected item, then choose a fresh Standard window from the Catalog and place it on the same wall.
In top view, select the door, make sure Move is active, and drag the horizontal handle along the wall. The door stays aligned with its host wall but can't go past the wall's ends, so leave clearance from the ends and from nearby windows, then check the result in perspective.
