snap to midpoint or center of wall

[jmartinarch]

Okay, so what is the secret to inserting a door in the center of a wall.

Should I measure the wall, draw a construction (temp) line, offset to center?

I have snap to object on but the only snap hints that show up is 'along line'

Is it possible to snap to mid point of a wall?

I typically run snaps as shown in the included image. This tends to give me about every conceivable snap I need including some of the not-so-obvious ones, for example, where you can hover over the endpoint until you acquire a small red square then go to another snap point, hover a second, then you'll be able to "get" the center point.

It's very customizable and very complete...to temporarily suspend snapping, hold down the tilde key

A quick way to get to the custom controls is to double-click on the snap-to-object icon where you'll get a dialog box that'll steer you in the right direction

It is working now. I think was temp. confused as to which was on or off the dark or light button.

Thanks, have a good weekend.
