Searching for Door Object

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:01:04 GMT

This is my first post so sorry if I have not given enough information.

I am a previous version 8 and upgraded to 10. I am not very knowledgeable in Archicad. I am looking for a door with a dbl. sidelight on one side, and for the life of me I went thru every door style and cannot find the option to create it.

Can someone please help me out! Please ask any questions to help me out.

Thanks,

Taunya

by double sidelight, do you mean two sidelights on the same side of the door?

If so, I don't believe I've ever seen such a thing.

You can make one with the storefront and/or curtain wall parts.

If you mean a double sidelite (i.e. one above the other), then the standard D1 Entrance Side 1 door should work. You just select a different sidelite type. (In AC11, it's style 2, probably the same in AC10).

Very sim. to what I am looking for except I would like to have a vertical
mull yet in the sidelite, to make it a 4 pane sidelite. I hope someone can help me out.

I went thru all the options in the D1 w/ sidelite but could not add a vertical mull in it. I will have to try the store front door again I guess I never tried using the curtain wall parts.

So just add a short wall or tall slab segment at that location. Done.

I understand what you are talking about , So will this still generate in the door elevations the correct way?

Also what about using BIM, now it probably won't calc. this the correct way.
