Creating detail view of doors in Revit api

How to create detail view in Revit of specific door using Revit API( external command)? For now I managed to create DetailView, but when I open in Revit that view it is not what I expected(see images: expected , what I get).

Here is the code:

IEnumerable<ViewFamilyType> viewFamilyTypes = from elem in new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(ViewFamilyType))
                                                      let type = elem as ViewFamilyType
                                                      where type.ViewFamily == ViewFamily.Detail
                                                      select type;
        //uiDoc.Selection.SetElementIds(new List<ElementId>() { door.Id });
        var dim = door.get_BoundingBox(null);

        using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(doc))
        {
            transaction.Start("Creating Detail View");
            BoundingBoxXYZ box = dim;
            var detailView = ViewSection.CreateDetail(doc,viewFamilyTypes.First().Id, box);

            detailView.Discipline = ViewDiscipline.Architectural;
            detailView.DetailLevel = ViewDetailLevel.Coarse;
            transaction.Commit();
        }

I'm using Revit 2018, Any help or suggestion is welcome just to finish my student research.

Do The Building Coder articles on creating a section view help?
