Move an Opening

If an opening has not been fixed to its position with a geometric constraint, you can move it on the same wall, or from one wall to another, by using the context-sensitive menu function Move. In the drawing, you can additionally move an opening by moving it from the grip point.

Move From the Grip Point

  1. Select the opening or its label.

    The program adds three square grip points to the opening: one at the center of the opening and two at the edges. You can move the opening by selecting one of these grip points.

  2. Click one of the grip points.

    The locating point is now at the grip point. You can slide the opening along the wall by moving the mouse.

  3. If necessary, change the wall using the auxiliary function Select wall.
  4. If necessary, you can also use the other auxiliary functions before selecting the location.
