The Metal Windowframe is a craftable structure piece that serves as a wall segment with an integrated window opening. It provides the defensive benefits of metal construction while allowing sight lines into or out of your base.
Spawn it using its item ID or GFI code. Since it has a numeric ID, you can use either cheat GiveItem with the ID or the GFI command, both work equally well. The windowframe does not stack, so each one you spawn occupies a separate inventory slot.
