Year after Year Graphisoft fails to deliver a real solid door and window library that is consistent part to part.....

In the 2D Script, under HOTSPOT EDITING:
IF gs_fpw>0 THEN... ELSE !!LJY: show hotspots at wall opening even if no sidelight(s)! HOTSPOT2 -a/2, 0 HOTSPOT2 -a/2, -gs_frame_thk ENDIF IF gs_epw>0 THEN... ELSE !!LJY: show hotspots at wall opening even if no sidelight(s)! HOTSPOT2 a/2, 0 HOTSPOT2 a/2, -gs_frame_thk ENDIFalso, remark out the following:
! IF gs_ep=1 THEN !!LJY: show hotspots at jamb even if no sidelight(s) HOTSPOT2 linbb, fr_os*(gs_frame_wthk=1)-(gs_glass_thk*(dtlev)+gs_gsb)*((gs_bg_right=1)*(ABS(gs_epw)>eps))*(gs_frame_wthk=0) HOTSPOT2 linbb, -gs_fthk-fr_os*(gs_frame_wthk=1) ! ENDIF
! IF gs_fp=1 THEN !!LJY: show hotspots at jamb even if no sidelight(s) HOTSPOT2 linba, fr_os*(gs_frame_wthk=1)-(gs_glass_thk*(dtlev)+gs_gsb)*((gs_bg_left=1)*(ABS(gs_fpw)>eps))*(gs_frame_wthk=0) HOTSPOT2 linba, -gs_fthk-fr_os*(gs_frame_wthk=1) ! ENDIF

Laura, thank you for that explanation! You obviously understand GDL very well. So let me get this straight, Laura is done the homework for GS. Now lets see if GS will do the work to get this library fixed.
I have pointed this out before on this forum, the VAST majority of users don't have the time or inclination to learn GDL. Even GS executives have told me they don't expect us to learn GDL. We have enough on our plate just learning what the real or perceived impact that BIM has on a project. We pay a lot of money for each license of AC. This storefront problem has been around since AC 9, now we are in at AC11 and still the same problem.
I wonder when GS will figure out that Doors and Windows are the most needed library parts for every project....They should work!

I have tried changing as many settings as possible to get the frames to show up, and nothing happens.
I just can't believe how easy it is to find problems with these library parts!

Unfortunately it will not solve the line missing between the leaves.
In our parts, I've had to add the line in the 3D script.

Now that I have placed dozens of the metal storefront doors from the AC11 library in my model, I can't dimension them in plan to the rough or masonry openings....this is ridiculous. However in elevation, hotspots seem to be showing up properly.
One cannot get buildings built to the desired intent without dimensions...This should be no suprise to GS. I find it hard to believe, with AC11 on the market as long as it has been, that GS does not know this problem exists.
It is my hope GS will actually respond with updated and corrected library parts in the next Hot Fix release. This IS a clear example of oversight in quality control in the standard AC library parts, which seems to plague this program release after release, in particular within the libraries for Doors and Windows.
While a very resourceful user posted a scripting solution to the problem, we ( this users office ) are not about to become programmers to fix library parts that GS supplies in its standard library.
Come on GS, pick up the ball, and fix this problem for once and for all.
