How to adjust the thickness of the door frame?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:21:37 GMT

I have created brick wall with both side plastered (in 3 layers separately) only to find out that I have problem insert a door to the wall. The door only shows on one side.

Does anyone know where the configuration for this?

You will need to make a composite with 3 skins so you can use this as a single wall rather than use 3 separate walls.
A door or window can only cut openings in one wall.

If you know how to cut the wall, please brief.

Did you make the wall by placing 3 separate walls or have you created a composite wall in the OPTIONS menu > ELEMENT ATTRIBUTES > COMPOSITES.
It will only work if you have created a composite wall.
A door or window can not cut openings in 3 separate walls.

I would like to make a composite skins of 18mm thick plaster on both side and 79mm thick common brick wall.

May I know how to achieve this?
