This is to be a butt-glazed, bifolding door (commercial)...
Any ideas would help...

I am learning as I go. Frustration is now setting in.....
Now my custom door is placing it self -8'-7 33/64" from the bottom of the wall, and I can not change the value, well sometimes I can after messing around with the Parameter Heights long enough.

Anyway, even with this option the Wall hole should be recognized. Says Help Manual, ala Karl. Karl told me to save door as a Editable Script and that he will report this as a bug to GS.
As they say down under, cheers.

I had a Custom Garage Door that I used as a "Custom" Panel in the D1 Garage 1 door object of AC9 Library.
A new Client wants a door similar with the Glass one panel lower. Since I saved the previous door as a module (as per Karl), it was as easy as merging the Module into the plan at the Origin, editing and saving the new custom panel as a gsm.
When the revised panel with the lower glass area is substituted for the previous panel the door "shifts" from original origin. Both door objects were created with the origin at the lower left corner.
Any ideas?

Most of your problems look like any one of the requirements above weree not met.
Oh, and besides - do NOT use any of the parts of the d/w as the wallhole slab. Do another one, of the exact shape that you want. It will not be visible in the saved d/w.

A fill will do, won't it?
(I just mean to be clear so this info will be usable for newbies too - sorry if I sound otherwise)
