Hope it helps :)

Motivated by this model intend to place a Window at MidPoint of a Wall, add feature to 'snap' Window parametrically and intuitively.

When I position a Window/Door (or a Furniture) most of the time I would like to fix it in relation to a wall edge. So maybe a possible way to achieve this could be to proper rename the "Master Sketch Subelement Offset" parameter and to interpret it as Offset Distance along the Right-Wall-Face when "Attachment Aligment" = EdgeGroupWidthRight (second wall image below) or as Offset distance along the Left-Wall-Face when "Attachment Aligment" = EdgeGroupWidthLeft (third wall image below).
Also adding this to Guihub as another Issue ?

Thanks.

Update on GitHub -

"I have another look at this issue, and realise it was in fact implemented.

The Arch Equipment, Windows etc. can attach to the (inner/outer) wall face, not only the 'Axis' of the Wall (the Edges in the ArchSketch).

User can select 'Wall Left' or 'Wall Right' in the Offset Alignment as desired.

Please see if this issue should be closed ?

Thanks :)"
