I have a set of about 30 component windows and like number of doors I need to place in walls and want to use Doublecut to drop them in. However, right now, the front of the window/door trim glues to the wall. 

What I need is for the trim on the component to protrude from the wall by 1/2". Is there a way to use Doublecut to make the component glue in such a way that when dropped on the wall, the component will stick out 1/2" from the wall surface?

  Hi Dan - you would need to modify the geometry of the cutting components such that the cutting edges and component axes are positioned in such a way to give the desired result.

  Followup question.

  Is there a way to group windows cut into walls with double-cut?

  When I group windows (like one does with doors, duct work, walls, etc.) the wall surfaces return and no cut through the wall is seen.  I'm modeling a church building that has dozens of windows and having all of these ungrouped is getting to be a navigational issue. Thanks.

  No, each window must be at the same 'level' as face it is cutting through.  When you group multiple windows, they can no longer be glued to and cut the desired face.  That's why the cut disappears.
