Pen color problem!

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hey, I'm working on a new Archicad template for the office, and came across a problem with the doors and coloring in the pen set.

After editing a custom pen set and color i can not for the life of me find the setting for the line color of doorsteps in the door settings. All other line types of this object is fine, but the lines for doorsteps are as if preset to a certain number in the pen set.

Is this a bug or have i overlooked something, any help would be much appreciated.

Attached an image for reference, also i'm using the norwegian version of archicad 19.

thanks.

I don't have Archicad in front of me at the moment but I think you will find the sill lines are part of the wall pen colours and not the door object.

Today I came a cross the same problem. After investigation this is surely a BUG in version 19, because Graphisoft changed the way pens are changed for sills and thresholds They forgot to add a separate option for changing sill's contour pen and now threshold contour pen is the same as sill's. So if you want to change the pen for the sill you first turn on threshold change its pen and then turn it off, the sill will use the pen from the threshold
