Anyone who know how to change the way door glass is represented in 2D? I would like the line that represents the glass to be shorter and when I draw a double door I would like it to be två seperate lines, one for each leaf.

I have moved this topic to the 'Working in Archicad' section rather than the general 'Archicad +' discussion area.

What door object are you using and can you show a screen shot of the problem?

It´s always the same problem when I draw a door with glased leaf/leafes. In this particular case I use a basic door. The attached document shows how it is viewed.

Have you tried changing the model view options?
Not sure what it is you are wanting to change about the 2d representation

You don't say which version of ArchiCAD you are using or which door part you are using, however in AC 18 (USA) there is a moveable hot spot at the end of the door leaf in 2Dm (D2 18) that will allow you to close the door to get the appearance you are trying to achieve. Just grab the hotspot and drag it to the desired position.

Ok, I´m using AC 18, the swedish application, but there are no hot spots. The door part i´m using is a basic door. If I use any of the other door parts then there´s not even a line to show that the doors is glazed.

You can change the scale setting to show it like this which is best done from the model view options, then it is global
I set mine to be like yours & get hot spots still
