continuous facade - offset panel

Hi, guys, I have a problem with the continuous faces I can't fix. I created panels based on continuous facades to insert on this last doors and windows. everything works correctly but I would like to ask you if you can set an offset to the single panel. I try to explain myself better. Sometimes I need to insect windows, doors or panels in the continuous facades but I would like to manage the alignment compared to the facade mount. I always create the families following the middle-age line of origin, but the same family sometimes I would like it to be aligned to the outer edge of the mountain sometimes to the inner one. for now I am going ahead by duplicating the various families, changing its position regarding origin and aligning them according to different needs. However, sincerely, I would like to create a single object (family), to place where it seems to me without worrying about the origin of the family. Is that possible?
in brackets (usually all I want to accommodate in the continuous facades I create it with panels based on fc, but I also tried doors and windows based on fc thinking they worked, and instead not. At this point I also ask you, the difference between panel, doors and windows based on continuous facades. I thought I was identical to a first analysis. Am I wrong? )

thanks to all
 
if it is a problem only linked to the internal/external edge because it does not use the reverse arrows (from create>control)?

hmmm yes and no. I'll explain. It's one thing I've tried together with so many others without having the desired outcome (on the one hand it makes my work easier on "part", on the other it forces me to add parameters and lines more. I'll tell you later.
the solution you suggested would work in part in the case of windows and would save me a duplicate of the extra object (as instead of having 3 I would have only 2 with different planes of reference, one on the edge and one on the middle line).

However, I try to explain myself better. Suppose I have a frame of 20 cm of depth with the classic glass made of panels placed perfectly at the center of them. at this point I need to insert a door and a window. over time I created a family library and in the case of a continuous facade I always created doors and windows based on the panels. I have always created these objects on the reference plane originally (e.g. fixed window 10 cm deep placed in the middle of the reference plane, then 5 cm outward and 5 inward). doing so by inserting the window into the facade will continue perfectly to the center of the mount (which is 20 cm). The problem is right here. in the continuous facades, according to the different builders, the windows, the doors or anything else to be placed on the façade can have different positions than the pillars/traverses. some companies place them on the half-car line, others on the inner edge (as often you do with the back doors) and others on the outer edge.

as I mentioned in the post of opening solutions there are many but nothing that gives me the complete package. As you will know better than me, I can act on the profile of the mountaineer, I can create windows and doors with the outer edge on the plane of reference (origin) and much more, but none of these gives me the chance to have one family and decide to put it where I want.

the solution you suggested could go well for the windows as I told you before, as moving the reference plan on the edge of the fixture (of the window) I could decide to move it with the reversal arrows on the inner or outer edge of the mount, but by doing so I would play the chance to have it on the mid-range line, if I wanted to.
in the case of the door even worse, because I should insert visibility parameters for the view in the plant. the door that opens, using create>control it would open then in the opposite direction, so I should create double opening lines, and activate or not those according to the way of opening the door (without counting that even here I would play the actual position of the door to the center.
I hope I have been clearer :))) and thank you for your help
 
creates different types of panels. then, change the properties of the type, using a different value for the offset parameter of each type of panel.
and also a suggestion. please attach some pictures.
