HELLO STEVE!
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIEND!

I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
it's a 3-dimensional reveal so the top of the door header needs the reveal also.

I was playing around with it. Seem I had to use a "door" 'AND' an "opening" object to create the desired effect.

Seems there is no door reveal or window reveal with the chamfer on both sides......bummer
also, it appears the "reveal" lines (ends of where it cuts the doors in plan) leave this heavy line graphics............hubboy. it can't be simple now can it.

I like the three wall method.

I like it because it works ok in 2d if you set the center wall lines the same color as the fill, and the the splayed part is easy to modify. For example if you wanted the splayed part to be a foot wider than the door or something.
