Windows' position doesn't match from plan to 3D and is generally werid

I got some problems with positioning of windows placed in curved walls.

Firstly, a window on 2D plan is displayed at different reveal depth from 3D model. In model, it sits deeper in a wall than in 2D plan. If I flip a wall against its baseline (sorry if my terminology is not quite correct, I hope you understand me), the reveal depth changes in model but does not change in plan, and it still doesn't match!

Also, my window is moved about 20 cm horizontally along the wall, compared to its position on the plan, which is marked by nodes. I don't know how to synchronize it. Though, it should be done automatically.

Lastly (perhaps I should split the topic), my window is not placed in a wall symmetrically. The right reveal is deeper than the left one. The wall was drawn along an arc, so it has regular curvature.

Edit:
I moved the model to AC 24.
Everything basically fixed itself.
