Concrete Shear wall with multiple openings
(OP)
I've got a 4 story exterior concrete wall with multiple window openings. Does anyone know a quick and painless way to draw multiple openings in a wall?

RE: Concrete Shear wall with multiple openings
Using either zeemas' suggested procedure or reference planes & lines, if the opening is the same size and location on multiple stories, you can mesh the wall on 1 story and then replicate to other stories in order to save time
The draw windows and draw doors draw tool options look nice, but you cannot easily mesh with precision using those draw tools from what I can see
RE: Concrete Shear wall with multiple openings
Once you draw the windows using the tool, you choose mesh wall for openings under the edit menu and it essentially does what the null lines and reference planes would do.
Somehow, I also like the null line or ref. plane option.

I am using version 9.5. I tried the door and window tools, but I can't find the option to change its dimension. could anyone help?

Use door and window draw tools then use reshape object order to modify it.
