    Minimum wall length

    Can somebody remember how to make a wall that has minimal space 0.00 between a window and a corner of the wall? Minimum wall length always slips back to 100 mm. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The wall snap distance can be changed by double clicking the wall tools tool, then the window casing can be reduce to minimal or no casing so the casing does not stop before the adjacent wall??? And you can specify the minimal wall length "unconnected" in the same DBX as well??

    Are you trying to move a window to a wall?
    Or a wall to a window?

    in plan defaults(dbl click the select icon to open this default setting)>general settings...check the box to 'ignore casing for opening resize' and you can slide a door/window tight to a corner ....w/o leaving it away from the adjoining wall to allow for the casing
