Real Doors & Windows are a lot of individual objects, each of which represents a different type of opening (fixed window, double hung, etc. and swinging door, sliding door, etc). It's a little simpler than the GS doors, but do not have the nice graphical interface.
As much as I complain about them, I'd recommend the GS doors & windows over an add-on unless there's something you really need to do that you cannot. Is there something you want to do that you cannot do with the GS doors?

We don't use the Door Builder -- this object does not work with the IS (so these doors are not included in our Door Schedule).
I recommend Door/Window Builder. It can be tedious to learn, but once you save some favorites, it's easy.

The door and window builder, to say the interface is bad is an understatement, but at least it is more versital.
Real windows and doors to me is the best, easy to use, easy to schedule, but sometimes they are buggy with new releases, and the ower is always slow to have them upgraded. to me ease of use and scheduling are most important.
to me Graphisoft needs to upgrade windows and doors with the upgrade, a true upgrade. not insignificant additions that are meaningless

I'm not having much trouble with just single doors or windows. I have trouble ganging them together. I wanted to put this 1/2 rnd on top of this triple window when I gang them together the trim is removed to do it, but how do I get the trim to be above the part without the 1/2 rnd ? I thought I should gang the 3 windows together and not use the pre made one then just put the 1/2 rnd above the center one but I got error messages. Another thing I wanted to do was make an eyebrow window this size I was able to change the width but when I changed the height got another error message (second screen shot). I was also wondering how to do a cased opening and garage doors with the top corners angled.
Thank you

I am attempting a similar eyebrow window but run into the same wall as BAS. I need it to be 5' wide and 14.625" tall.
