Door getting offset from complex wall on 3D preview

Noody — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 11:19:09 GMT

Hello,

did anyone have a problem where placing a door on a complex wall, on 2D plan everything looks perfectly fine, but on 3D preview, door has big offset (attached screenshot). I tried opening Profile Manager for that wall and turning on "Opening Reference" and moving the red line to the brick. But the problem i have there is when i save it, when i hide and then show again "Opening Reference" it is shown again on the end of the wall. It doesnt want to stay on the place i moved it after saving i dont know why.

Operating system used: Windows

I seem to recall a reply to some other post from @Barry Kelly regarding the anchor position impacting it. So try setting your openings to by offset to Header instead of Sill. This was back in like AC23 or something so I had figured it had been resolved... Barry referred to the post here, but all of the old Architalk links are bricked... And here is Barry's post when he ran into it.
