Door frame too wide

mukster — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:06:37 GMT

Using Archicad 16 on a MAC platform. Putting a standard door in a 3-9/16" thick wall. However, when I cut a section through the door, it is 5-1/16" wide. The exterior trim sits away from the wall 1-1/16". Any idea why this is?

Are you inserting the door in a Complex Profiled wall? If so, does it perhaps have baseboard or some other protrusion at the base? If so, change the anchor to be the head, assuming that at that height, the faces of the wall are the desired thickness of the frame.

That worked perfectly - thanks. The complex wall does have a base strip which is wider than the wall. Put the anchor on the header, and everything tightened up just right.
