Align Model Elements between Levels

I am looking for a way to align model elements (like the windows below) in cases when there are repeated floor layouts in a building.

Ideally, by moving one of the elements left or right on the wall, the others would move to align with it as well. I achieved something similar by using the dimension tool, locking it at 0", and then deleting the dimension. However, that method is difficult and time consuming to set up and doesn't offer much freedom if I need to remove one of the elements (especially if it is on a middle level.)

 

Is there any way to do this without breaking up the walls on each level and copying the level as a group? (That causes misalignment with walls when the level heights are different but the floor plan is the same.)

Use Align tool and choose Lock option.

Thanks ToanDN,

 

They align tool works great when all the elements are aligned, but if I later need to move one of the elements out of alignment (especially one in the center), it breaks up the other doors and it seems like I have to align them all again. Is there any work around for that issue?

If you tick Lock when align them then they should move together when you move one door.  Remember to CLEAR Disjoin box when you move.
