    try holding the ctrl key while moving the wall

    or if you know the distance to be moved, start to drag the wall then hit the tab key and enter the amount

    you can start the move by moving the wall a "larger" distance and chief will move it just the little bit that you need

    The problem is the walls keep snapping together I bet.
    Pull the other wall back so you snap the invisible one to the line first,
    Then the other wall should stop there to..

    I've had that situation a few times and it can drive you nuts..
    Easier if you know where you want to stop it to use the cad line and snap one wall to that first.

    I'm sure there are other ways to make it work, that's the way I use without having to think about it..
