I propose we change the thread title to "Why are windows sometimes placed upside down and back to front".

You should be able to do it editing your first post

Nice! would be nice to have it in Draft...

That is how most FreeCAD objects work... But there are pretty complex things regarding placements in FreeCAD (ex. app parts), maybe what we need here is better documenting? Documentation is always good, my concern was to find a good way to solve all the problems we have with wall, its base and wind...

Another improvement to draft are link array commands, implemented by realthunder to use link inside the normal array command.

Very nice and tidy model.
How did you model the windows?

Thanks for taking the time to explain all this.
I'll take some reflexion time to think about it.

The starting point of Draft Wire is kind of 'origin' - draft a random DWire, it is not at (0,0,0); change the placement to (0,0,0), find the starting point fall at (0,0,0) Not always, if you edit the DWire with DraftEdit, you can move the first point, and it will not be any more coincident with the...

Got it... now it's clear.
Yes, using expressions is a bit convoluted.
Isn't all this heavily subject to toponaming issue? (hope this will be tackled in next 0.20 development cycle)

No, you have misunderstood. The initial placement of the wall is ALWAYS 0,0,0. The placement of the sketch is not taken into account. Sorry, i probably didnt explain it right at the beginning. example: Sketch.Placement = Placement [Pos=(443.848,293.797,0), Yaw-Pitch-Roll=(0,0,0)] Wall.Placement = P...

Exactly: 0,0,0 from the placement of the sketch
