ArchiCad 18 - Wall Complex Profile and Doors

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everyone,
I’m working with complex profiles and I have a problem that I don’t know how to solve.
In a wall complex profile which includes a cornice, when I put a door and the “Reveal to Opening Reference” is 0.00, in plan, the door is lined up with the wall, however, in 3D, the door is lined up with the cornice.
If I try to change the reveal to opening reference of the door to line it up with the wall in 3D, then, in plan, the door is lined up with the cornice.
Is there a smart way to solve this?
I’m new in this forum so I’m sorry if this question has been asked before.
Thank you.

Javier:

In the Profile Manager, check the Design Layers > Opening Reference (so these lines are visible), then in the Profile Editor move these lines to the face of wall, then Store the Profile (to save changes).

Keep in mind that the window and door anchor point affects where they are placed into complex profiled walls too, even after setting the opening reference plane.

Cheers,
