To Change the Location of a Freestanding Door and Window Assembly

You can relocate an existing door/window assembly by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The door/window assembly also has an orientation with respect to the world coordinate system (WCS) or the current user coordinate system (UCS). For example, if the top and bottom of the door/window assembly are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the door/window assembly by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the door/window assembly on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the door/window assembly.
  2. On the Properties palette, expand Location.
  3. Click Additional information.
  4. Specify the location of the door/window assembly:
    If you want to… Then…
    relocate the door/window assembly enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the door/window assembly on the XY plane make the normal of the door/window assembly parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the door/window assembly on the YZ plane make the normal of the door/window assembly parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the door/window assembly on the XZ plane make the normal of the door/window assembly parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the door/window assembly enter a new value for Rotation Angle.
  5. Click OK.
