Door Jamb rough opening space in Section

Is there any way to hack the door settings so that in section the rough opening space shows as a separate fill from the door frame?

Given all the relevant parameters are accessible, you could possibly create your own host object that draws a polygon within the rough opening space which can then be coloured via its section attributes

I appreciate the information - but that's more of a hack than I care to dig into.
Archicad has consumed almost as much of my life since version 10 as I have slept since then.
Enough is enough.
