Hello! I have a problem! When I'm working in 3D in Archicad 26 and I am trying to copy or move a window or a door, it doesn't move straight in the same line and on the same level. I just want to move the window without pressing Shift. I will attach 2 pictures, where should I modify the settings to only move straight on the same line a window only with CTRL+D? (for example I attached a picture, i want to move the window in the direction of the red lines without pressing shift) Thanks!

That is exactly what SHIFT is for.

It will constrain in the direction you want.

Without it you are free to move anywhere.

 

Another option is to activate snap guides (blue guide lined) or the more permanent guide lines (the orange ones).

But that takes longer than just pressing SHIFT.
