Doors interfering with wall outline appearance

alexliz — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 10:33:18 GMT

Is there a way to force the wall to display correctly and not allow the door frame pen to 'cover' over the wall's outline pen, effectively making it look like there's a gap in the wall (or some other modelling issue)?

I have resorted to manually drawing thick lines over the relevant lengths of wall but, obviously, this is not how it should be.

Photo below to explain the issue. Thank you.

This has been an ongoing representation issue forever and I totally agree it is frustrating. It seems to only affect walls where the door abuts it at a right angle. maybe a wish needs to be created to resolve this.

Thanks Lee. In the example I show above, it affects both ends of the door, not just the one where it's at the wall corner. It does need to be addressed.

It is simply because the line thickness is centred over the line position.

Then your door frame has a thinner frame line and possibly a fill which sits over the wall, masking the wall line.

Unfortunately, display order does not work for doors and windows.

I don't use the Graphisoft doors and windows, so am unfamiliar with their settings.

I don't see any control for the end lines other than making the entire frame line thicker.

One thing to check though, are the end lines turned on in your wall composite settings?

Set as the same pen as the skin separator line.

Here you can see I have a wall with 2 skins, I have turned the end lines off for one of the skins.

I have them turned on.
