Whenever I insert a garage door, it appears to not have a door frame, see attached image.  How do I fix this?  Thanks for your help.

G'day!
In the door properties, check your "Frame Depth" (a) and compare it to the overall thickness of the wall.

Thanks Merv.  I can always count on you to solve my problems.

I have increased frame depth in the past, however I have to use a 9" frame to fill the gap in a 6" wall, which doesn't sound right.  Windows and other doors besides garage doors don't seem to have this problem.  If others experience the same thing it would be nice if the powers that be could fix it in a future release.

Just out of interest I tried this myself as I have used garage doors in thick walls before and have not had a problem with it previously...  and I didn't have a problem this time either. The door I used has a 3.1/2" frame and the wall 15" thick. As you can see the wall still continues into the door recess.

I don't know whether this is the same door of course, (maybe the one you used caused the problem) but it also made me wonder if it was something to do with the texture you have set on the wall openings? Is it set to the same as the wall itself or maybe to one that has been accidentally made transparent?  Just another thought on the subject.
