ArchiCad 16 Placing Doors

When placing doors in ver. 11 we set the "minimal space at jambs to give us hotspots to place doors next to adjacent walls. In ver 16 I see where one sets the "minimum space" in Parameters but how do you turn on those hotspots on the door symbol in plan?

Karl,

Not really what I am looking for. In Version 11 in the door setup I could turn on or off both "door hotspots" and "Minimal distance" hotspots. I turned on only the minimal distance hotspots and when placing a door, I could grab the hotspot and slide the door symbol to a set amount from an adjacent wall for standard jamb dimensions. Hopefully this option hasn't been deleated.


I also dislike how they changed the way you hover over a line to turn on the guideline. the new way with the red dot doesn't work very well. The dot moves and dissapears when I go to click on it. Are you familiar with this function and hopefully a way to turn it off.
