    Default Recessed window

    Working on a recessed window family. The goal is to have the glass and the mullions inset 3 inches from the exterior face of the wall. I am able to inset the glass but I am unable to inset the front face of the mullions 3 inches without disjoining them from the reference plane, or moving a reference plane which shifts other elements of the family. Wondering if there are any tips to achieve this. See attached image [Mullions at exterior wall] - this is what it looks like now. For desired look, see [Recessed mullions]. Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Can you share a snip of the Ref Level or side view with the reference planes showing?

    The key I've found to making things like this work is making sure there are reference planes (and ref lines when necessary), which are controlled by the parameters. Then the geometry is constrained to the references. From what you've noted, it sounds like you're trying to dimension to 3D geometry and not references.
