Have a hard time with closures for windows and doors

Hello!

Actually two things I'm struggling with and can't get it done.
First is outer finish brick layer and its closure over the window. I want it to be same width as window frame, in other words can I control a width of a turn ?

Second is door and plaster turn for door, I can't make inner thin plaster turn towards door like it is for window. it turns only if "consider skin as plaster is unchecked" but in this case it turns by penetrating core which is bad, I will try to paint how I want it to be on second attached image.

1 is current image , 2 is desired result


Not related to above question directly but just curious, why Archicad allows core to be penetrated at all ?

Best Regards !

My goal is to understand why archicad shows menu "turn plaster" frozen for hinged doors while for user Lingwisyer it's not frozen as you can see above.
This is because you probably have your casings on.
Yep, that is it.
Got your shared file, turned the casings off and the turn plaster options were available.
There is no need to turn the plaster if you are covering it with a casing.

I would use Traditional Cavity Closure. Like this:
