Door Opening Visibility

I built a custom door family that allows for 2 doors to meet at the corner. The doors work great, but I have noticed that in elevation I have some visibility issues. I made the door work by putting an instance parameter on the opening width so that way the wall at the corner will be cut and look correct. But I have noticed that the opening cut is opaque in elevation and blocks geometry beyond. I'm not sure I am explaining this clearly, but you can see from the elevation what the problem is. I overrode the transparency of the door to see if that would help, but then I see inside and the frame turns transparent too which I don't want. Any suggestions?

Nice looking Door Family! Couple things I can think of:
1- you probably need to extend your view range to show more of what's beyond.
2- In the family itself, and in the proper elevation view (side view?) you may want to add few symbolic lines to always show the side edges of the opened panels. 
Let me know if any of these works...

Select the Openings in the family and set them to Transparent in Elevation.
