HI Yorik.

HI Yorik. I have been using Freecad for the last 2years for mechanical design and 3D printing. I now have a need for modeling an old house I bought. I started using the Arch workbench, but I am having trouble placing windows accurately. I have gone through the tutorials and have watched your video, but I still cannot locate the windows accurately, and once placed I cannot move them.

I generally use the Parts Designed and Assembly pluging with the Sketcher, but sketcher does not seem to correctly work with the walls in Arch. Am I doing something wrong.

If I have a wall, say 3m high and 6m long. I want to place 3 windows, no 1, 780mm from the left edge. no 2 1.3m from the right edge of window 1 and so on.

How do I do that?

Thank you
