How to put two different finishes from the complex profile wall warp the door and window side faces?

Hi,

I have a problem in Archicad where I'm unable to make the bottom and top wall finishes wrap evenly over the door side faces, the same way they do on the front face of the wall.
I've attached some screenshots of the wall and its modifiers for reference.

The wall is composed (from inside to outside) of the following layers:
Gypsum Plaster, Brick, and then at the bottom: Membrane – Rainproof and Hard Styrofoam, while at the top: Soft Styrofoam and Plaster.

All materials can have their height and width adjusted, except for the Brick and the Rainproof Membrane.

As I mentioned earlier, when I place a door into that wall, the side fill around the door doesn't look as it should. I tried to mark on the image how it's supposed to appear.
Also, I noticed that when I set the Hard Styrofoam width to 0, the Rainproof Membrane takes its place in the fill (shown in the image).

What could be causing this issue, and how can I solve it?

But also, whenever i want to change the size of the door or door sill height, i also need to make a new empty opening in order to achieve that?

You can adjust the empty opening no need to place another. 

This is also something you want to do in the final stage not in the design stage.
