To Move a Window Along a Wall

Use this procedure to change the location of one or more windows along a wall by offsetting the windows from a reference location.

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

This feature is useful when you want to position a window at a specified distance from another object. For example, you may want to specify an exact distance between a series of windows along a wall.

Note: If the defect marker appears in the wall after you move a window, the window is too close to other objects in the wall or to the end of the wall for the endcaps to fit. Adjust the position of the window until the defect marker disappears.
  1. Select the window you want to move.
  2. Click Window tabAnchor panelReposition Along Wall.

    A marker indicates the current location within the opening.

  3. Specify where to measure the offset from:
    If you want to measure the offset… Then…
    from the center of the window select a point near the center of the window.
    from an end of the window select a point on the end of the window you want to measure from.
  4. Select a point to measure to (the reference point).

    You can select a point along the wall.

  5. Specify the distance between the points you selected:
    If you want to… Then…
    move the window to the reference point enter 0.
    move the window a specified distance from the reference point enter a value for the offset distance.
    specify the distance as a measurement between two points, such as the distance between the centers of two windows that are correctly positioned select the two points measuring the distance.
