Can't change door Nominal Sizes and Tolerance in V26

Draftsman — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:40:21 GMT

Hi,

I can't change the parameters of the doors from the Predefined values.
Specifically, the Predefined values are 280 in width and 340 in height, I need them to be 28 w / 34 h or close to that.
Is it possible to change the door's Predefined values and how?

I have set the Working Length Units to be in millimeters.

It's so interesting that on windows the Predefined values are smaller and I can change them without a problem.

Thanks!

Let me see if I understand: you have set your working units to be millimeters, and yet you want a 28 mm x 34 mm door? How does a door the size of your thumb make sense?

I think those values you refer to in the screen shots are the minimum size that particular parameter can be before the door or window cannot be generated. The symbol denotes that it had to be equal or greater than the defined dimension.

if you want pre-defined door widths and heights you need to change those parameters to what you want them to be and then save the door or window as a Favourite. All of the parameters you set will then be remembered and saved for future use.

They are not predefined sizes, they are minimum sizes that can be accepted.

Any less than that and the scripting for the door window will not generate a good object.

So it simply won't let you go less than the minimum size.

If you want 28 instead of 280, then set your working units to 'centimetres'.
