door wall materials (surfaces) not lining up correctly.

door and wall materials (surfaces) not lining up properly.
GS....please advise.

I guess it depends on how the objects (doors) are scripted.

I know it is possible to allow the materials on objects to be aligned so maybe your door objects have a parameter to adjust the material origin.

Or it may be hard coded in the object to always set the material out from say the centre of the object and you have now control over it. You will know this is the case if you move the door slightly and the material moves with it.

If the material stay put and the door moves then I would say the material (surface in 18) on the wall has been repositioned.
In the DESIGN menu you will find "Align 3D texture".
Try to "Reset" it and if that does nothing then you can adjust it to suit your doors.

My own custom door objects work fine and I know I didn't script anything into them to adjust the material position (see attached image).
They automatically show the material linked to the drawing origin - so as I move the door the material hatch pattern stays put.

I'm guessing the Graphisoft doors are scripted so the material is always set out from the centre of the door so it always stays symetrical even when moving the door.
So you will have to align the wall texture to suit.

Barry,
here was one other question I had.
Even in your simple example....the door you show hinged is showing the hinge on the wrong side.
the "hinge point" on ANY door is the tip of the arrow head if you will.
that's conventional drafting. you always show the hinge of the door in elevation where the two diagonal lines meet.

I know some of these doors are wonky that way where the hinge is flipped or mirrored to where it is in plan, hence you can never show the door hinge in elevation, which is at times needed.

That is just the Australian drafting convention.

really? In "down under" the hinge on the door graphics is opposite as the U.S.? cool.

Yep - seems logical to me.
2 hinges and one handle.

Rob,
From your images it looks like the material is centred to you door so I am guessing it has been coded that way.
If there is no option in the door parameters (and I would doubt there would be) then you will have to adjust the wall texture (an hope you only have on door in each wall otherwise you probably won't get it to match 2 or more doors at once).

Select the wall and view in 3D then DESIGN menu > Align 3D texture > Set Origin.

Not all of it. In NZ we do it the right way

I think we (the U.S.) has it wrong and you guys down under have it right....after studying the "door diagram" as to where the 'hinge side' SHOULD go. I say we revamp our entire U.S. graphic guideline.....oh, no, wait...we tried the metric system implementation when I was in elementary school (45 years ago) and it flopped......oh well, it was, forward and onward.
