Interior Window Shutters

[RobUSMC]

Is there a way to control how the shutter lay on the window.  Default shows the shutter to be floating off the face of the window a few inches and i want to move then in to remove the gap or in some cases the shutters are recessed inside the window opening. Is there an option or a way to have the shutter lay flat on the wall or be recessed?

 

Thanks

Check the shutter symbol and see if it has a y-origin offset.

This is an option in the window dbx so its not a separate symbol that can be opened to adjust the XYZ.  I could drop in a shutter symbol and place each one but was trying to not have to do it manually

In the past I have added more lites to a window and made the mutin width 3". It gives the illusion of a recessed shutter but not exact. See attached

I don't know where you got that shutter symbol since I don't have one in my libraries.

 

Regardless, you can copy it to your user library and use the "open symbol" button to check/adjust the y-offset.  You can then use your modified shutter symbol for all of your windows.

 

Basically, you can use this technique with just about any symbol to move them around when needed.
