I'm working with doors - trying to nest a door panel component into a frame family.  When I go to place the door panel in the frame family, it only lets me move the panel left to right, instead to toward the front or back of the wall (I need to dimension in the latter direction), despite the fact that I've set the Left vertical reference to Defines Origin in both the component and the family.  It keeps placing the door panel component in relation to the center of the wall in the Frame family, and only lets me move it left to right...

 

What am I doing wrong?  Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Well, I didn't figure out how to change the origin of my door panel made from a door template (wall-based), but I did find a work-around:  I remade my panel from a generic family template and then nested it into my frame family (made from a door template, wall-based), and now I have the freedom to move the panel in any direction within the frame family.
