door rough opening

[cr_gixxer]

Is there a way when you insert a door to have the host element (ie wall) remove the rough opening. I'm looking for more than a reference line in a plan view.

I know it would seem odd for the door to appear to float, but I think with the right reference lines in the family, you could adjust it to a desired visibility.

In the attached image, when I'm looking at the bifold door, it is a 3' door, but for this type of door, the need the clear finshed opening to be 3'-2". The contractor doesn't wan't to see the small returns on each side of the door.

I guess I could always fake the door bigger, but if I were using this strategy on the next project, this would mess up my schedules.

Any advice on to how to approach the model...or the contractor?

Clear FINISHED opening between finished jambs needs to be 38"? Or the rough opening between studs needs to be 38"?

You could modify the family to make the opening equal the size of the rough opening parameter, set the rough opening to be the door width + 2", and then still have the panel size itself be 36".
