Changing interior door molding on one side

[capitaldesigns]

I am entering a house that I measure last week. The toilet room in the master bathroom has a 45 degree wall with a 2'-4"x6'-8" door. The interior dimension

of the 45 degree wall is 2'-10". CA will not let me insert the 2'-4" door into this wall. It reduces the size of the door down to 2'-0" wide.

 

The only way I can place the 2'-4" wide door in this wall is to reduce the casing down to 1.5" wide. The problem is that when I reduce the casing it does it

on both side of the door. Is there a way to have the casings on one side of the door be different size than the other side like we can do with exterior doors ?

 

I measured 3.5" distance from the edge of the casing next to the door opening to the corner of the 45 degree wall. Why will CA not let me have a 3" casing

since there is 3.5" of wall to attach the casing ?

 

One last unrelated question. I just viewed a video that Alaskan Son did regarding making custom columns. Is there a way to tag these videos and/or topics

for future reference ?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Mike have you got "ignore casing for opening" checked? Subscribe to his You tube channel and you can watch videos at your convenience.

Thanks. I was looking under door defaults. Both solutions for this door.

 

Thanks,

Where do you find this?

Found it. You would expect it to be on the Casing Tab, But it's in the General Tab.

It's probably on the General tab because it relates to the casings, lintels and materials, not just the casings.
