Open window from menu

How can I open new window from my Xib file in Swift2? I've created new NSWindowController + xib, but I can't find how to open it?

@IBAction func openPreferences(sender: NSMenuItem) {
let wc = SettingsViewController()
//...
}

I've decided to use custom Storyboard instead of Xib with NSView. So here my code.

AppDelegate.swift:

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
lazy var settingsController: NSWindowController? =
NSStoryboard(name: "SettingsStoryboard", bundle: nil).instantiateControllerWithIdentifier("SettingsWC")
as? NSWindowController

@IBAction func openPreferences(sender: NSMenuItem) {
if let controller = settingsController { controller.showWindow(self) }
}

}


I know this question is three years old but it's at the top of a number of Google searches so I think it needs an answer that specifically addresses the original question.

Basically to get this working you need to change the code to this:

@IBAction func openPreferences(sender: NSMenuItem) {
let wc = SettingsViewController(windowNibName: NSNib.Name("NameOfXib"))
wc.showWindow(nil)
}
