Creating Elevations Effortlessly with the Windsketch Elevations Addon

The Windsketch Elevations Addon lets you generate professional wall elevations from your existing projects in just minutes. Whether you want to display structural details, grids, or openings, this addon provides all the tools to produce clear and accurate elevation views that complement your plans and estimates.

With this addon, you can create elevations directly from your main project or as standalone elevation projects — giving you flexibility depending on your workflow.

Key Features

Two Creation Modes

• From an Existing Project:
  When working on an estimation-type project, click the “+” icon at the bottom of the plan. You’ll see an option to add a new page — choose Elevation.
  When you print, the first page will show your plan, the second page will display the grids (if your openings have grids), and the following pages will include your elevations.

• Independent Elevation Projects:
  When creating a new project, instead of selecting Estimation, choose Elevation. You’ll then follow the same steps as in a standard project, but the editor will focus on the elevation view.

Elevation Editor Tools

Inside the Elevation Editor, you’ll find a complete set of tools designed for fast, precise, and customizable elevation drawings:

• Wall and Structure Tools: Draw walls and define the layout of your elevation with precision.
• Window and Door Placement: Insert openings from your catalog to ensure consistency with your plan data.
• Grid Configuration: Add and adjust grids automatically or manually to match design specifications.
• Annotations and Notes: Add measurements, labels, and comments directly to your elevation for clarity and documentation.

Benefits

• Visual Precision: Create detailed elevations that match your floor plans perfectly.
• Time Savings: Generate full elevation views in minutes — no redrawing required.
• Professional Output: Include elevations automatically when printing your project set.
• Full Integration: Works seamlessly with your existing Windsketch projects and styles.
