I'm working in a design option and for some reason when I add a door to a specific wall, I get an error message saying that the door is trying to host to a wall that's in the Main Model. What's strange is that the door in the design option is not physically on the wall in the Main Model.
Attached is a screenshot of the error. In this image, I'm in the design option and everything grayed out is in the Main Model. The door and conflicting wall are both hilighted. What's strange is that if I take the end of the wall that's actually hosting the door (the horizontal wall) and pull it away from the stair shaft so that it's no longer touching, then I won't get the error message anymore.
Is there any way to dissociate the door from the conflicting wall without physically seperating the horizontal wall from it?

Check the box on the wall error message and see if it will show you that. This wall may be below and the top too high and the door finds it.

Thanks for the quick response.
When I chose to have it show the wall it still showed that vertical wall that's hilighted in the last image. The wall is currently drawn as a shaft wall and thus spans the entire height of the building from basement to roof (6 stories total). There doesn't appear to be any wall directly beneath the door.

I think what is happening is when you are inserting the door, it is trying to update the wall joins on the adjacent walls which is giving you the error. I use design options alot and I have come across this from time to time. One thing I've had some sucess with is to "check" the boxes that explain the error. Then you can select "delete checked items". This will then let you place the door. If that doesn't work, just pull the wall away from the other main model walls and add the door. Then just rejoin the wall.

Hey chilie, I've tried those before as well. One thing I should note is that the stair enclosure (stairs, walls, adjacent doors, and shaft opening) is combined into a single group (makes it easier to move the entire enclosure as one object instead of level-by-level). The walls in the design option are also in a group because they are being replicated on multiple levels. As a result, when I choose to "delete" either object (either the door or vertical wall) they're simply excluded from the group that they're in. This is nice because I can retrieve those items later after we finally accept a design option, but in the meantime, I'd still like for them to show up visually.
Also, when I pull the wall away from the stair enclosure and re-attach it, it just give me the same error message again.
