How do you control the color of the door jambs?

This must be simple and I am missing something.......:confused:

[Dave Pitman]

Walls, Normal is where the line color should come from. There is no 2d door frame.

That said, I cannot get the end of the wall at the door to display a different color than the rest of the wall.

Perhaps Copy/paste an example into a blank plan, and post it.

Door- material- interior trim works for me Also the eye dropper. Works because the door trim will, by default expand, to the wall thickness.

WHOA WHOA WHOA, what's going on here, how did you do that Bill?

[William H Lynch]

Think about how layers and wall definitions work...

Oh you dirty rat, okay, I will try to figurate it out.

Actually, it was Dave's response that provided me the clue on how to do it.

Thanks for the hint, Bill.

Dave,

Good work, you had the answer all along... Now, what happened to Scott? I really miss the challenges Louis used to post.

[charlesu]

Aha..... got it! Thanks guys

[Curtis Johnson]

This remains a mystery to me, short of inserting a CAD line and coloring it as desired. You guys must have shorted out Scott's computer because I don't see any referral to a new "how to" video here yet. And I had my daily dose of coffee and some chocolate to boot!!! I am keeping the popcorn machine on standby. Yes Bill, Louis used to have dome pretty good challenges. I guess the cabinet business in TX must be very good for Katy and Louis.

Hi Curtis:

No CAD were harmed...errr...I mean used in this exercise. You can accomplish what Bill and I have shown with wall definitions and layers. Why you would want to in real work, I don't know, but it is an interesting exercise.

I have a hunch that Charles' got his walls goofed up when he was implementing Dorothy's method for displaying walls in plan view, but that is just a guess.

Play around some more, you'll get it.

Whats Dorothy's method?

Curt,
You are the man when it comes to solving complex problems. This is so easy, perhaps that's why it's eluding you. Think in terms of 'layers' and then you will 'not' be in a 'jamb'.
