door error message, need help

[Anonymous]

I'm fairly new to AC 10, and Mac OS-X. Made my first wall and placed a door. Went to 3D window and got this error message:

Fill not found at line 105 in the 3D script of file wa_trim_us_10.gsm.
Fill not found at line 249 in the 3D script of file wa_trim_us_10.gsm.
Fill not found at line 528 in th.......continues

The problem goes away if I delete the door.
I'm using: Wood Internal Doors 10 > D1 10 with no changes to the default settings. I reloaded the 10 Library to make sure it was ok...have I mistakenly misplaced some reference folder on my new Mac w/ my new OS-X? Any help would be appreciated.

Defaults are not always right for a specific situation.

You might want to check what type of wall you are placing the door into (stud, masonry, etc) and see if the door is set to match that type of wall.

First of all, you must be kidding (I know you're not)...you can't take a simple wall and insert a simple door? Yikes, wasn't that one of the original beauties of ArchiCAD?

Ok, if you could help me discover the correct place to check this that would be great. I looked under "Wall Selection Settings" and didn't see anything. The door settings seemed so complex that I left them on default.

I'm trying to create a simple stud wall (GWB) with a plain metal door.

It's not Magic-Cad. You do have to give it a little information to work with once in a while 😉

The setting you're looking for is:

The door is set to Stud Wall as you've shown. Do I need to set the wall to the same in order to make it work?

not 'majic cad' now you mean? i think it should work as it did, then you edit the parameters to suit your specific needs. A basic 2hr fire-rated mtl. door and frame should fit any wall type w/ a simple click (for that matter, any door or window should, then you edit it...not edit it first, then place it).

Why does it need to be classified as stud, cmu, etc. type door? Am I missing a great, as of yet undiscovered attribute of doing it this way?

The wall needs to at least have a couple skins to it, like a stud in the middle and gyp board or some other finish. Other than that, it should work.

I can understand why a window might throw a fit if placed into a 1/2" thick wall.... but you're right, the doors & windows are incredibly intolerant of the slightest unanticipated setting (setting parameters to zero are famous for that)

It's mostly for exterior trim work conditions, allowing you to add things like brick mold and deeper trims to span the air space behind the brick. It has a big effect on plan display, since different type of walls can have skins peeled back for trim or the door/window frame.

It bugged me at first until I got the hang of them. Now I'm starting to REALLY like them.
