I want the frame to be below wallline2. What should I do?

I don't think you can do anything about this as door/window objects do not respond to send forwards/backwards?

I don't have Archicad running so can't check.

 

But is it really a problem?

Sure when you zoom in on screen you can see it, but in a printed plan, I would doubt you would notice.

Definitely not if you are printing in black & white.

Even printing in colour it would be hard to see at small scale (1:100).

And if you are doing large scale details, you probably won't be wanting to show such a simple detail, you will probably draw it in more detail with 2D lines which you can control.

The door below is the door I am studying.
In the existing door, the frame is below the wall open line, but the one I studied is above. This is a question I'm asking because I'm curious as to why.

Well, it can't be display order as that is not applicable to doors & windows.

Is it the Level Of Detail In the Model View Options (they seem to have a different LOD) or the Renovation status?

Either way I don't think you can control it.

thank you.
I'm in Mongolia for a while now, so it's a difficult situation to study everything about windows.^^
I will go to Korea to study more and ask questions.
Have a happy weekend. ^^

Oh, I am grateful that the ac26 runs even on a really slow computer. ^^

This is something that I feel needs to be changed globally across the whole software. Wall opening edge lines should always appear in front of door frame lines.

The issue there is how Wall Closures are currently handled. Since they are purely 2D, they are drawn over the top of the surrounding wall.

Looking at this image, it seems that the wall open has been enlarged and the walls have been expanded.
So, which GDL can I look at and understand?
This is a question because there are so many calls to gdl that it is difficult to understand.

Have a nice day

My guess would be the "CavityClosure" macro.
