    All these ideas are good for learning to draw in place--in general a good idea. But when you really get to making house models, you need to start using components of doors and windows to take advantage of SU's features, and add a lot of (reproducible and modifiable) detail with less work.

    I'd fix your wall junction before adding trim

    My way of doing it is draw a 2D profile of the door jamb on the floor. It will have the outside & inside trim, frame and door stop. Make the 2D profile a closed group. Edit the group and trace the path of the door opening. Select the path, select "follow me" then click the 2D profile.

    Make the opening too big then draw the trim as one long element. It’s quicker, neater, less geometry and easier to modify.

    After the offset, you can drag line to wall edge so you only erase one time

    Depends on what kind of door you are doing. For minimalism you just need the jamb. Door casing for contemporary or classic styles.

    You're making it hard for yourself 😂

    Skethup needs to make a dynamic toolset like autocad or revit that makes it simple to create your own dynamic objects
