Re: Doors and windows avoid unwanted deformation- my way mini tip
@Emmanuel
You've right! But, without magnetism I have to manually set every door to be in the right position.
That mean to have a proper angle of view in 3D and move the door in 2D until the case-frame remain exactly at 1 cm outside the wall (the case-frame thicknesses).
It's not impossible but it need a lot of work every time.
So, I prefer to work once to set the correct furniture properties (which also is not so simple) and than use it with confidence everywhere.
With the last version of FLE this task it is a little more easy.

@Keet
Unfortunately I'm stuck in the real life.
In my apartment I have 7 doors in 7 walls with 10 different thicknesses sad .
but if the difference gets too big it leaves a door/window that doesn't fill the gap

Indeed. Exactly that has happened to me (in real life).
Well, when I will have some extra money I will buy some extra door frames to complete the gaps.(Not in this life crying )

I've also played with different properties for my doors.
Here is one of my Door glass:
name#2=Door glass 80 opening
tags#2=door, Adjustable
category#2=Doors and windows
icon#2=/Door glass 80opening.png
model#2=/Door glass 80opening/Door Glass 80 opening.obj
multiPartModel#2=true
width#2=95.95488
depth#2=16.9776
height#2=209.60001
movable#2=true
doorOrWindow#2=true
doorOrWindowCutOutShape#2=M0.04,0.02 v0.98 h0.92 v-0.98 z
doorOrWindowWallThickness#2=16
#doorOrWindowWallDistance#2=4
doorOrWindowWidthDepthDeformable#2=false
doorOrWindowSashXAxis#2=6
doorOrWindowSashYAxis#2=2
doorOrWindowSashWidth#2=83
doorOrWindowSashStartAngle#2=0
doorOrWindowSashEndAngle#2=90
modelSize#2=607897
horizontallyRotatable#2=false
creator#2=Dorin Vatavu

As you could see the #doorOrWindowWallDistance#2=4 is commented.
In my case was useless while the outer frame stay exactly where I want.
