Door in Complex Profile Wall

Bob Moore
Enthusiast
I'm new to using complex profiles and in this case I'm using a complex profile for the wall with a storefront door but the door is displayed a closed in 2D although my setting are set to 90 degrees. Does complex profiles affect the display?

try placing the same door in a non-complex profile and see if you still have the same problem.

Bob:

Check the door display option in the door dialog box: Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display: and set it to Symbolic. Some of the other settings are actually a 3D cut through the door using the Floor Plan Cut.

Wow, you must be really thankful.
You thanked it three times.

No, actually, there is something going on with the site.
It gave me debug error messages and posted it twice.
