Context requirements:

  1. Edit Mode - user must be in edit mode on an active object.

Object can be any mesh generated by a user.

  1. Face(s) Selection - user must have one or more faces selected.

Face(s) must be strictly rectangular.

Face normals must have a zero as the Z component i.e not upward/downward facing.

Features:

Multigroup components(door/windows) are controlled through the component property which expects a string with any combination of d and w characters. e.g wdw would create a Window-Door-Window multigroup.
