36" window in a 51" wall--why not?

[Tim O'Donnell]

dbl click the select tool to open the Plan defaults>general settings, check the box for 'ignore casing for opening resize'....then select the window, and enter a value far larger trhan what the wall is...chief will automatically center the window and size it to its maximum for the wall...

you can over ride this placement as well ...place your window, then hold down the ctrl key and slide it to one side of the wall until it stops, then while it is still selected, hold down the ctrl key again, and grab the window edge that is not in a corner and drag it to the opposite corner...although with this over ride you will be eliminating any room for framing in the wall
