The dependence of the thickness of the door or window, the thickness of the wall in which they are embedded.
Good day! Doors and windows from the standard library SH 3D without problems embedded in the walls, the thickness of which is the default of 7.5 cm. All smooth and beautiful. But if you set the thickness of the wall, for example, 30 cm, the thickness of the door or window adapts to the thickness of the wall (stretched door handles, etc.). Become ugly. And with the doors open just a nightmare. Open the door is pulled in the direction perpendicular to the wall is proportional to the thickness of the wall. In the case of the retaining wall (40-50 cm) open door leaf reaches the middle of the room. Tell me please, is there settings to avoid this "scaling"? Or model of doors and windows, the thickness of which does not depend on the thickness of the wall in which they are incorporated? P.S. Sorry for the bad translation.

Thank you very much for the quick tip, Puybaret! I did so in their projects, and create door and window openings of a desired depth in Sketchup. But I was hoping that the problem was solved at the level of development of the program. Alas!

It's quite difficult to treat this issue as a general case but this is one of the improvements that always stay in my mind.

Maybe the easiest of all is to use a separate frame and a door without door-properties?
Allows you to change opening or hide the door altogether. Makes for a tidier work-space and to combine different doors and frames. But preferably so the 2d door-frame displays the way the door opens, like this.
You will see that the scaling of the frame (how much the door frame protrudes from the wall) is still a "problem". But on a much smaller scale - and it is normal to use thicker framework on an outside wall.

Another question for you, as a specialist, a respected Poibaret. Door or window of the Libraries are SH 3D on 2D plane is displayed with a radius (arc) of the opening. Models created in SketchUp or imported from other libraries are displayed on 2D plane without opening radius (arc). Is it possible to create a model of a door or window that shows the radius (arc) of the opening in the 2D plan?

Yes you can, but not without editing the SH3D properties assigned to the (imported) models.
Arcs (door openings) are amongst extra properties that can be added in the SH3D properties (not supported by .obj files etc). But you can create a Furniture Library and do some manual editing of the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file. See thread 2006 and page 9-10 of the SVG guide. That is the way the protruding door frames and 2D door arcs were made in the file above. Here you can also add light sources, information etc.
