    Adjusting door placement within width of wall

    I am able to adjust where the storefront windows lineup within the thickness of the wall (15" thick wall) but I can't seem to adjust the door placement within the wall to match. Anyone have a work around for this?
    Door is at default placement. I've moved the windows 'forward' 10" by giving them a -10" inset.

    Storefront

    I make a wall that is the same thickness as your storefront. This will place the door in the middle of the wall. The wall thickness could be less if desired.

    Nice workaround! I'll keep that in mind. I'm having 'fun' with this one because they may not have included the wall thickness in their leased space layout. You know, they come to you with a single line drawing and overall dims... Anyway, this space has the windows integrated into the wall and the door under the wall with a third clerestory over all of it. Fun.
