make garage door work like actual doors in north america?

hey ho, has anyone got any suggestions on how to make garage door jambs and casing actually work the way we build them here in N America? i can get it to work more or less in plan, just not in elevations and certainly not in 3D. i've used the custom closure to get skin 1 to look like a 2x jamb that overlaps the door slab, but i can't control the material and can't get casings to work at all.

A few screenshots explaining the exact 2D and 3D representation you would like to achieve would help.
