Below I try to explain how we work in Finland and Sweden and probably in several other european countries. This is an important issue for architecture firms when looking for cadprograms over here!
The door width should be entered in the same way as for the window. That means width and height overall should be entered, not the opening width as it is now for the doors in VW. Both doors and windows should have the shim gap included in the overall measure. That means the overall width should be the same as the structural opening in the wall. I would also like see the actual width for the door and window frame (not the opening width) in the data report.
For exampel a door D9x21 which is standard 900x2100 mm door with 10 mm shim gap gets the following values:
Total width overall: 910x2110 mm (=the structural hole in the wall)
Frame width: 890x2090 mm (=the door part to be inserted in the wall)
The same goes for windows and windowdoors.
I would also like to notice about that the 3d opening symbol and name is drawn in a mirrored way in Scandinavia compared to the one used by VW. According to the European standard EN 12519 "Windows and pedestrian doors - Terminology", the symbol for the direction of rotation is opened up on the side where the leaf hangs. Also the naming for right and left hanged door is different in europe standards. I would also like to see VW print the data for the direction of rotation in reports, right or left hanged, so this work would be automated. I try to illustrate this with the simple figures below:
