I wish there was greater control of wall openings

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: Better control and selectability for openings in walls and floors, particularly in the wall openings. The opening objects need to be able to be dimensioned, constrained and adjusted in properties dialog box, just like a window or door.

Description: I wish there was better controllability of wall openings. These objects need to be able to be dimensioned, constrained and adjusted in a properties dialog box, even in the family editor. Right now, there are no ways to control the precise dimensions of these openings unless you create reference planes, and even then there is limits to the controllability. These are objects with a width, height and depth and they have edges like void masses. We should just be able to dimension to those edges and control the parameters of the void.

Not to fond of wall openings because of that reason. Use a door or window instead. One of the other drawbacks of using a wall opening is that it doesn't automatically demo itself when the wall its hosted to is like a door and window would.
