I'd have to have a dig around in the settings but I am sure you can achieve this.

I need to open an old project and see how I did it. I won't be able to do it until later today. If you haven't heard back tomorrow, chase me.

WOW THANK YOU! You saved me Andrii! The secret is to use the wall reveal along with the custom closure and it's thickness must equal to the custom thickness!😀
