Windows

I am new to chief, and I can't seem to find an automatic way to get same dimension on multiple windows in a wall.  If I have 3 windows, can I get the same space between the windows without manually setting the dimensions and having to divide the measurements to get the spaces equal?

There are actually several ways to do this.  Chopsaw mentioned one of them.  The best method depends on exactly what you're doing and which objects(s) you're wanting to reference.  There can be much quicker methods depending on exactly what you're doing, but here's one that will work for multiple scenarios...

 

1.  Draw a line that starts and stops on span you're trying to reference.  You may want to use the interior to interior of your walls or you may want to reference framing on the exterior or you may want to reference siding on the exterior.  I'm going to be referencing siding in this example though...

2.  Group select the windows, click on the Align/Distribute Along Line tool and then select the reference line...

3.  In the Align To Line Dialog, select Space Evenly and Distribute Between Endpoints...

4.  Click okay and then delete your temporary line...
