Door in round wall bug?

[thinkingpencil]

VWX 2022 SP5

A door PIO causes a filled arc of radius equal to the radius of the round wall. The same result when the plugin is is set to "opening only". The filled arc is not visible on Top view...but is visible in a horizontal section VP. Any help or observations gratefully received. Tthe colour of arc-fill is random, so not related to the classes of wall, components or the door itself.

...one further observation...the door inserted into the wall seems to have a problem. For some reason the flush leaf is splt with half its thickness in the same colour as the arc-fill. Trying to unravel this door setting too!

You need to assign the 2D + 3D components of the Door to appropriate classes. See the '2D Visualization' tab of the style settings for the former + the 'Classes' tab for the latter. You have Wall Lines (2D) + Exterior-Panels (3D) both set to the 'Glazing-Clear' class which isn't helping things. Everything else is set to use the attributes of the container class i.e. 'A-G251-M_ExternalWall' + this class has no fill or texture. I would spend a little bit of time setting up some classes which you can use for Doors going forward + get it looking exactly the way you want it.

Thank you so much Tom. It is kind of you to spend time looking at my file. That sounds like excellent advice. Will do. Mark

Update. Having rationalised both 2D and 3D classes all doors are rendering as desired. I now have a deeper insight into the awesome controllability of the Door plugin object. For example a flush door leaf has an intrinsic external panel enabling two colours inside/out.

 

...and finally :- The filled arc was eliminated by changing fields in the 2D Visualisaton tab of the plugin door settings dialogue. To be precise :- With "Set Attributes by" set to Class" / "Wall Lines" set to class called "Doors-Wall Lines". Crucially the arc of fill disappears because this class is set "Graphic Attributes" / "Fill" / "Style" set to "None".

 

Workflow back on track for tomorrow's deadline now. Thanks to your crucial guidance Tom. It's 21.06 so off to celebrate with a beer now in the pub!
