Window appears offset from Complex Profile wall

Hello everyone

I am having a problem using Complex Profile walls

When I place my window/door in 2D, the reveal of the door shows exactly where I want it, but when I go to the 3D view, the door appears offset off the wall.

Can anybody advise me on this?

I got the answer from the technical support department:

 

If you open the complex profile and turn on the Opening Reference lines, move the opening reference lines so that they sit in the main body of the wall. By default these opening reference lines will appear to the extent of the complex profile wall which will effect how doors/windows are placed. See attached screenshot for reference. Let me know if this helps.
