Curtain Walls

I have two questions regarding curtain walls I have not been able to find straight answers:

1) I can make the reference line coincide with the reference plane (center line of panels), if I want to make the curtain wall start at the base of a curb or at the edge of a slab, Is it possible to assign the reference line to be directly below the exterior face of the frame ? In other words, how do we place a curtain wall exterior face, flush with an edge below.

2) Once the curtain wall is in place, and we find the base of the wall too high or too low, Is is possible to modify this elevation setting withouth deleting nd having to start again ?

Like the other Tools, I would use the "t" and "b" inputs in the Info Box, but this is also possible in the Curtain Wall dialog box, under Curtain Wall System: Geometry and Positioning.

Thanks David:

As in some other ocassion, the minute I describe the problem and I post it, the answer hits me in the face. I found my answer at the top of the screen, in the right end of the tool bar. Exactly as you describe using the "t" top, and "b" bottom to insert the dimensions needed.
