custom door in 3D offset problem

[Erika Epstein]

Hi,
I created some custom panels for a door with sidelights on both sides.
In 2D they look fine.
The problem I am having is that in 3D they appear shifted to one side parallel to the wall they are in, see attachment, by half their widths. I have tried resaving them with their midpoints on the global origin and also at the edge with same results. I cannot find my error.

The AC9 help doesn't mention having to place your door/window assembly in any particular place relative to the global origin (or any other).

Can any one point the way please?
thanks

Erika,

Make sure your door / window is constructed such that the midpoint of the sill is at X axis and the Global Origin (and make sure you put the User Origin there before saving). Orient the height along the Y axis and the width centred on the Y-Axis. Then construct it face down with the underside set at 0 elevation and build up from there.

The 'worms eye' view is actually the front view.

This should give you the result.

Cameron,
Thank you, but I did save them as you described.

I resaved them just now making sure the local origin was on the globall origin and that they were the mid point of the sill inthe X axis.

I am unfortunately still getting the same result.
