Snap to door casing

Hi!

Im drawing some tiles in a bathroom that dont go to the ceiling, they have the height of the door (around 2.05m). i am designing a 5mm wall for the ceramic tiles around the bathroom walls, but i am encountering 2 problems:

 

1- When it reaches the door i want to stop the ceramic precisely in the casing, and i cant get a snap point oin the door casings;

2- This ceramic, when applied over a "wall end" starts acting a bit crazy;

 

I attach some screenshots.

 

Thanks,

Z

I think the Reference Line of your thin Wall may touch the Reference Line of your main Wall and they start intersecting.

I would put those thin Walls on a separate Layer (you probably did) and set their Layer Intersection Group Number to a value different from the Layer Intersection Group Number of the main Walls. That way they will not intersect. You should make this change in all Layer Combinations for consistency's sake. 

Let me know if that helps.

In addition to what mentioned above, you can stretch the ceramic wall to the door casing as attached below:
