Signa Station and creep

Can anyone give me some tips to correctly setting up an 8pp gatefold in the middle of a saddle stiched job with creep applied.
I have added 3mm scale creep to a job and the last scheme contains an 8pp double gate fold. The creep gets applied to this also. I know i can turn it off on those pages. If i leave it on it applied the creep to the inner pages of the gatefold spread but pushes the outer pages in the wrong direction. Should i be setting up a particular folding scheme or is there another way?

I think you would have to create a new product part for the gatefold, this will keep the creep in one part and not the other.

Ive solved this issue now myself.
Yes a second product will help, but you can also edit the creep for one scheme within a product part but more importantly i needed to change the 'centre offset' in order to stipulate what fold is to be the spine. This then has an impact on which way the creep is applied across a roll fold or gatefold forcing pages to be treated as a left or right page. Originally this was all screwed up for any spread after the gatefold as the left and right pages were treated in signa the other way round.
