Locking Window Positions...

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:59:14 GMT

Is there a way to lock a window's position in space? That way when i start to modify walls the windows don't get shuffled around all over the place... I have hotspots to mark the midpoints of each window, but it seems like a bit of a hassle to keep aligning them over and over again when my coworkers modify exterior wall attributes and thicknesses.

Define what you mean by "space": vertical, horizontal, etc. (X, Y, or Z plane). Also, which AC are you on.

To lock a window in plan (horizontal), you should just be able to Lock it (Edit > Locking > Lock).

Actually, it looks like this also locks the wall it is in -- Sorry, no help.

Hey no worries! You tried at least.

I am thinking about maybe locking them to either hotspots or to the origin, whichever is easier (and if none of that can be done, then nevermind )

Im currently running AC 10 1183
