SteveMontgomery Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm having difficulty positioning an exterior door in a 600mm thick stone wall. I want the door to swing inwards but when I use the edit handles to do this, I end up with the hinges on the interior of the wall. I want them inset about 100mm from the exterior. Home Designer Pro 2017 provides a facility to inset windows in a thick wall but I can't see any way to do the same thing for a door. Any suggestions?

DavidJPotter Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 You can set the door or window to "Recessed to sheathing" or "Recessed to the main layer" by way of the objects Specification Dialog - Frame Tab, that is what is available. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMontgomery Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Thanks for the advice guys. I'll try modelling the wall as 100mm main with 500mm inner layers (both of the same stone material) and set the door recess to main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
