To Move a Window Within a Wall

Use this procedure to move one or more windows within a wall by offsetting the windows from a reference location.

This feature allows you to align windows within the thickness of a wall. You can set an offset distance from any point within a wall, or center the windows between the faces of a wall. You can select doors, windows, and openings and reposition them at the same time. If you select more than one object, you can select only one side to offset.

Note: You can only relocate the corner window into another qualified wall corner.

1. Select the windows you want to move.
2. Click Window tabAnchor panelReposition Within Wall.

   A marker indicates the current location within the opening. This may be the center of the frame, the interior face of the frame, or the exterior face of the frame.

3. Specify where to measure the offset from:

   If you want to…	Then…
   center the windows between the faces of the wall	select a point near the center of the window.
   offset the windows from the interior or exterior face	select a point on the side of the face you want to measure from.

4. Select a point to measure to.
5. Specify the offset distance from the selected point:
