Baffled over the simplest door question

[domer1322]

I'm ashamed to ask this ... but ....  how do I get rid of the lines highlighted in blue on the attached file?      They appear to be door thresholds but do not respond to the threshold setting.  I thought at one time they had something to do with reflected ceiling plans, but I'm baffled by this simplest of questions.

 

Help (please don't snicker).

Check that 'Draw wall lines' is disabled in the 2D Visualisation pane of the Door Settings or that the 'Ceiling-Main' class is off.

tried it many time without success.  This was initially from a VW 2021 file, but  I tried opening a brand new Architect template in VW 2024.  Same result ...  there is no 'ceiling-main' class in the new file and checking 'show 2D walls' has no affect.

Copy the offending wall to a new file and post it here. One of us will figure it out for you.

'Ceiling-Main' is the default but you could bring using a different class for 'Header': check what it is set to in the 2D Visibility settings.

Pat:

I'm pretty sure this problem is just operator error .... but it is still frustrating for me.  

I initially noticed it on a different file using VW 2021 and an Intel i7 iMac (2012) but the same problem exists on a brand new file using VW 2024 sp5 on a MacBook Air M1 MacOS 12.13.1.

 

So here is a sample file from VW 2024  ... it can't get much more 'clean' than this.  The attached file is just a brand new document from the "architect - imp" template.  All I did was open the template, draw a wall, insert a door PIO and save the file.  There is no 'ceiling' class.   I did not manipulate any door setting.  I tried the "show 2D walls" check box, with no affect.

 

I figure this must be due to some "Vectorworks" app setting, but I sure can't figure which one.

 

Thanks (to anyone) who can figure this out.

The class you are using for 'Header' needs to be turned off. You are using 'None' which can't obviously be turned off: so create a new 'Wall Lines' or 'Ceiling Main' class + assign 'Header' to it + make this class invisible:

Tom W:   you are right and solved the problem.   Thanks for the insight ... and thanks to all on the board who responded.
