INT Window/Door improvements to match USA Window/Door features

[JaredBanks]

I updated the Shoegnome Open Template to use the INT Windows and Doors. For the most part, I'm happy with the switch, but I found a number of features that I will miss from the USA Windows and Doors. My hope is that GRAPHISOFT will add the following items to the INT doors and windows so that the USA objects can eventually be sunset:

• USA can do exterior and/or interior handles (closet sliding doors don’t need handles on interior). INT doors have handles on both sides of leaf or neither.
• USA door leafs can extend behind the door frame. INT door leafs always push in front of the door frame. My bookcase door leaf works beautifully with the USA doors, but with the INT doors, I either need to hide the frame or have the frame as thick as the bookcase door. Both are bad options.
• INT windows can have a board or casing at the interior bottom of the window. It needs to be able to have both. USA windows can have an interior apron and stool.
• INT Overhead Garage Door doesn't have a casing option. Every other garage door (in the INT and USA libraries) do. This should be fixed.
• INT Sliding Folding Multipanel door doesn’t have a threshold option, it should.
• INT windows and door trim doesn't work with Create Opening from Selection, meaning a window or door won't cut siding or tile that its trim intersects with. I explain the issue and my workaround in this YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/hrFwsKGFlS8

If you have Archicad 28 just add lib pack of US Windows/Doors. Then you can use depending on your needs US and INT in the same file.

It would be better to vote for a general wish for improvement for the door/window tool so we are able to somewhat design our windows/doors if needed.

One such wish is already in upvoted section here.

We are in agreement that windows and doors need improvement. The above list are my specific requests for features that are lacking in the INT Objects.

While we can load as many different window objects as we want, the more localizations we load, the more cluttered the Model View Options get, so as a standard practice that is something I will be trying to avoid.
