Hi Roy, for a door? The examples do not show that for a door.. well at least not the wiki..https://wiki.freecad.org/Arch_Door

here it works if your wall is bigger than the door, which makes sense. how did you create the wall? 809tn.FCStd OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (XFCE/xubuntu) Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.21.0.33675 (Git) AppImage Build type: Release Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.21.0) Hash: 41b058e2087de60dc8fef3d...
