Edit flush panel garage door

[laurenMBVM7]

I opened the flush panel garage hoping to add windows to the face of the panels, when I add the frame and glass, they are not hosting to the face of the flush panel but more center of the frame of the garage door. On the ref level on the garage door, it looks correct, just not rendering right. How can I fix this?

BTW: The reason your Panel isn't flexing correctly is because you never constrained it to x/y Reference Planes in the Parent Family or Associated its Parameters to Parent Family Parameters.

you're absolutely right, I did make the 16' panel and applied it to the 16' door and saved it as a separate family, makes total sense. I was just having a hard time editing the right family.

I cannot get this door panel with windows to render flush. In the family file when I edit it, all the panels are shown flush. When I load it into a project, the panel sits 1" off and creates a shadow.

If the frame and glass are sitting more toward the center rather than the face, it usually comes down to how the family is built and where the host surface is defined. The quickest fix is to either rebuild that panel family with the glass flush to the face or replace the top section with a dedicated window panel, as mentioned above.

Another option I’ve seen work well is adjusting the offset in the panel’s extrusion so the window inserts align correctly on the render. It might take a couple of test adjustments, but once the reference plane is set, the windows should display flush to the panel face.

If you want some real-world insight, PS Home Maintenance often deals with garage door modifications, including flush panels with custom windows. They recommend ensuring structural balance isn’t compromised when swapping panels, which is something worth keeping in mind while making changes in your model.
