Door casing setting - where?

Anonymous

I'm creating a screen porch that has screen panels that are 1 1/6" thick. These panels have a "stop" on them, but the stop is not in the right place. Obviously, the stop needs to be right against the door panel. If the door panel were 1 3/4" thick, it would work. Where is the setting to set the distance of the stop in the door jamb?

Thanks

What library part are we looking at in your screenshot? When I set "Frame Style" to "Style 2" (stop shown) in a D1 Entrance 15, for example, the stop is right against the door panel, as it should be.

Thx,
Karl

Oh. Got it. This is really bizarre: if I make the door panel thicker, the 'stop' moves away properly. If I then reset the panel to a thin panel, the 'stop' does NOT move back! It stays at the deeper distance: bug I think?!

Nothing in the UI panel controls this ... but it is set by the parameter "Door Stop Projection" in the "Door Frame" parameter group. Just reset this to match the door panel leaf thickness and all should be well. I think?

Karl,

That was D1 Internal 15, but the same thing happens when I use Entrance. I've got it set to "Solid wall" as the wall will just be studs with no finish

What is your door panel thickness set to?

Yes, that works! Thanks.
