Align textures on the door elemenet

Hi,

Does anyone know how to set up the door frame so the texture aligns correctly as shown here?

The goal is for the vertical parts of the door frame to have a vertical texture and the horizontal parts to have a horizontal texture.

 

Operating system used: Windows 11 Pro 23H2

Other than scripting or creating (Library Part Maker) your own objects, I don't believe it is possible.

In the dutch library the texture is standard correct oriented

You can also set a mitered connection:

I just checked a door frame in 28 and it is the same as you show in 27 with each part of the frame having the material run along it.

And you can control the corner joint as well.

 

Maybe the version 26 library objects that @ananas is using do not work this way.

They actually updated this? Did they fix the door panel texture orientation?
