Is it possible to control the depth of a wall opening?  I have one window that needs to be placed in a masonry opening on the outside but up against a stud wall on the interior.  Not sure how to do this.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I've been wondering this as well.  Anybody know a workaround?

YOu need to build your window with an inset parameter.  To do this, open the family, add a ref. plane in plan that will locate the exterior face of the frame. Then place a dim from the ext. face of the wall to this ref. plane, label it inset, then when you create your window frame align it with this ref. plane.  Note you can either make this inset parameter an instance based parameter or type depending on how flexible you want to be.
