Doors in the floor!

[Hugo]

Hello.

I am inserting doors in VW 12, in a wall, and the door appears in the wall and in the floor. I have changed several settings but it is still on the floor. How can I convert it to a normal door?

Thank you.

I suupose, you've changed the height setting from 0 to something else? (the very first numerical input in the object info palette)

Is this door using a custom slab?

As a trainer I get this question from trainee firms which are experiencing it. I had it occur in one of my files as well but I cannot recall how I actually solved it. (mostly by random poking)

Has this issue been resolved?

[bclydeb]

I found what I takes to resolve the problem.

In the door dialog sets where you input the door thickness - if the thickness for the door is zero (0) the floor "shadow" shows up.

To be sure your door is at a real thickness go to Door Tool>Door preferences>parts>Part:Leaf (drop down) and set the thickness to a positive thickness. Thin doors are possible but not zero thickness.

Look for this bug to be fixed in an upcoming relesae.

The problem is happening to me again and I can?t get rid of it... How can I get back my normal doors?

Thank you

Just discovered that if I choose "glass" as the leaf type this happens, and if I return the leaf back to "solid" it disappears. Why a glass door has to appear duplicated on the floor?

Any input on this problem?

A similar problem with Window sills extending out was fixed by turning off Quartz.
