Buildings and other static objects like doodads (gates, archers, etc.) have something called "pathing maps" which are specific files that determine how units collide with them.

A good example of a pathing map is the arch doodad. You can walk under it, but not into either of the pillars. That is a pathing map. It's more complex.

Normal units are the ones that simply use a circle of area. If you want to fix this, I believe you'll have to change your building to a unit, or find a much larger pathing map.

Pathing Maps are small TGA files made up of basic colors.

You may use ''Pathing blockers'' around your building, but if you're having alot of large buildings like you're talking about, then the game might lag a bit due to the use of many ''Pathing blocker''

Pathing blockers are feasible for already-placed buildings, but might be tricky to trigger properly placing them if the building is constructed in-game. Ty for the link, Rui.
