Home story for doors and windows

Anonymous
Not applicable
I can set home story for wall or object but not for a door or a window. I can put a chair on 1. floor and assign 10th floor to it. Also, if a wall goes through two storys I can decide which is his Home story. But for door in that wall only its phisical location determines home story. For example, a bathroom door is 2 cm below 2 story level and in shedules it is listed in the 1 story, but wall is in 2 story. At least, I would expect that story of the door is determined by his wall.

Or am I missing some parameter?

I've found a solution. My door is positioned in a wall with base -1670mm below its Home Story (Story 0).
The wall does not display across multiple story (ie. show on Home Story only)
Simply setting the anchor to Story 0 has no effect. The door persistently shows up as being on Story -1
The only way I could get the door to show on the correct story was to set the wall to Symbolic cut
Now the door shows as being on Story 0.

Disappointingly these solutions do not seem to be working in AC25. I cannot relink an anchor story away from a story I want to delete from the project. So after deleting the story and losing any elements on it I have to replace the windows.
