I am working on a small addition with a gable roof and a cathedral ceiling interior.  When I place an octagonal window in the gable end, I cannot seem to move it to where I want it (that is centered horizontally).  I turned off all "snap" settings, but it still only moves to a couple of horizontal positions.  It seems to "snap" there.  Help?  (see attachment)

I see that the window position was being constrained by an interior wall.  I made that a half-wall (which is OK) and it no longer had a problem moving horizontally.  But it seems that there has to be framing in the gable end for the window to be attached to. That is, I cannot move the window higher in the gable end since there is no framing member to attach it to there.  Is that what is going on? I suppose there is a way to add specific wall framing, though I do not know how.  Any advice?
