And when you move nearby the location where you want to place the window, you will see some dimensions begin to appear on screen to help guide you in placement. Now, it's also possible to move slightly to change the orientation of the window to either inside or outside. So just pay attention to that orientation before you click, and then you can simply click to place that window.
