    Window hard against wall

    Hi all

    I've had a look through forums but can't find the answer to a little problem I'm having
    I'm doing a remodel and the client wants a window hard against an adjoining concrete block wall.
    The closet I can get is about 250mm (about 8 inches or so)
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    I've tried everything I can think of in preferences but am now at a loss what to do.

    Thanks for any help which may be forthcoming

    Cheers

    The other problem I'm having is with a handrail to a ramp which has a landing halfway along it.
    Tried what I thought would be the solution but nope - nothing seems to work.
    I've checked the help files for handrails but now I'm stuck
    Thanks again

    For the window one, have you tried unchecking "Ignore Casing for Opening Resize" in Plan Defaults?

    For the second one, you need to post the plan (maybe for the first one as well).
    We don't know what you have tried and there could be heaps of possibilities.

    Hold the control key down and drag the window to the corner, also try turning snaps off

    Thanks Guys for the prompt replies

    Glenn - I knew it was there somewhere but didn't think to look under plan defaults - Spot on ta!!
    As far as answers for the ramp go:-
    I managed to sort out a 3d polyline and with a bit of experimentation - I finally got it to work.

    Thanks again all
