Double doors not separate. Any fix?

I was using a SmartParts double door, and noticed that vertical line between the leaves was missing. (It was showing if the door was highlighted, though, so it's "there".) I thought maybe it was a bug in the door object, but then noticed that the Graphisoft double door has the same problem. Any suggestions before I add this as a 2D line in the elevations?

Laura,
I do not recommend changing a macro because I don't know what
the implications of any change might be as these macros are used
in many objects.
What is the problem with the store front object you refer to ?

I just changed the Macro to test the results, and promptly set it back when it did not work.

I'm also having this problem with the line between the door and frame not appearing (specifically with the Storefront objects, which assume that the face of door aligns with the face of frame). Setting the opening angle in 3D to 0.20 gets me the top line, but not the lines to either side of the doors.
The door on the left in the attached image has it's opening angle in 3D set to 0.20. The door on the right is set to 0 degrees. As you can see, there is no delineation between the door panels nor the doors and the frame.

Have you read this thread:
missing lines?

I had a problem with missing lines on windows. It's sort of solved with the solution my reseller gave me (bottom of page 1 on the thread).

Yes I had, thanks -- I suppose it's a possible short-term solution, but I really think that GS needs to address this and we should not have to take it upon ourselves to be customizing a number of our library parts -- LJY.

I agree.

It is definitely annoying, but I've just been setting the 3D opening on double doors to 1 or 2 degrees. They look the same but generate the line down the middle.

On both sides? In principle that should only work on the hinge side.
