Garage Door Placement

In AC12, has anyone figured out how to make garage doors look right in 2D??

More specifically, I want the door panel to be placed at the inside of the wall. Even better if the door panel could sit behind the wall like area real garage door. Instead, the part is designed to look like an ordinary swinging door when viewed in plan.

I can almost get there by using the "custom closure" reveal type, but then the exterior casing is out of whack.

Thanks,
JB

Use the D1 Garage 4 library part. It is almost perfect, like many windows and doors in the standard library.

Wow thanks.. I tried the garage 1 and garage 2 parts and then gave up... figured they were all wrecked.
