Hello everyone!
I have been trying unsuccessfully to turn the insulation around the doors of this building. I know it has something to do with the tab "Wall closure" but I haven't figured it out. The wall is a composite. All I've managed to do is turn the plaster... Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you!

I can't tell from your post exactly how you want the detail to look but you should be able to
achieve it using door settings > wall closure > closure type = custom closure. See attached image for result.
Under Select Skin to Edit you control which skin you want to edit by setting the reference to either inside or outside and then the skin number relative to this. You can also set if it should be done on both right and left jamb.
With the skin you want to turn selected you then check Turn-in skin and the skin will turn to the depth of the reveal. If you want the skin to extend past the reveal you have to set a Skin Overhang to Frame >0.
If you don't want the plaster skin to go past the reveal but still want the insulation skin to be next to the frame then check Consider Skin as Plaster when you edit the plaster skin.

Thank you so much! You've saved me from tedious patching up of the walls! I've been trying so many variations since yesterday!
Hello again!
I hope I am not taking advantage of your kindness by asking you another question. The reason I am writing to you again is that your solution worked wonderfully in my project but only worked on the windows in my co-worker's project. They have opening doors and not sliding ones like mine. Strangely enough when I paste my wall with my doors the wall closure settings are fine... If you have any suggestions I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
Thank you so much, take a look, maybe I've missed something!
