    Try to 'Join' the walls together. If they are within an inch or two they should link together. This means that you won't have to place an opening in, or modify the profile of the gypsum wall.

    Cheers,

    The door frame wrap will still wrap only the wall that its hosted to...

    You would need to create a custom door that would allow for extra wall thickness...

    You will need to add a ref. plane in your door family that you have a dimension to called "interior furring width" or something like that, then base you frame and trim on that. Make it instance based if you have multiple wall thickinesses.

    Thank already,

    But is it possible to explain me something more. I'm a beginner.
    I have adapt the family that when i change the dimensions, but it happens not automatic (other thickness) and when i flip the door it does not work.
    Perhaps there is a good tutorial to learn how 'family's works.

    Personally, I think your going the wrong direction with the door type, as usually wraps apply with interior wood/steel studs... I could be wrong though, but all the exterior conditions that I have uses a butted frame... (see pic....ignore the fact its offset a little too much...need to fix that)

    But if you really want it to wrap, instead of using the wall reference planes for your frame, you essentially add another reference plane (what Scott said) to one side (or both) to allow for an exterior and interior finish. Base your frame width to those reference planes instead of to the wall.

    Thanks for the answers.

    I am going to start with this advice. And first learn to walk before i can run.
    I downloaded a family guide so i can understand the basic first.

    Grtz.

    Have a look at the OOTB door family with external/internal reference planes added (as Scott explained) to control frame depth, for your quick reference.
